Dunnes Stores

Dunnes is the bomb.
Huge free carpark out front, so your guaranteed a spot is Defo a huge up from me. Hate spending half your time driving up and down carparks, hoping somebody will leave soon. Waste of time and energy.
I love Dunnes cause it’s hugeeee. U can have a potter in homeware, gather all your pharmaceutical needs, head to the offo for some alcohol, pop in for a hair cut or get Your dry cleaning done. All before you head into the supermarket section.
The supermarket section is fab tho. Lots of fresh fruits and veg, huge bread section, quality butcher section. Basically all u need is in dunnes. I have never really gone to dunnes with a list and not come out with all i intended to.
My go to supermarket, and shud be everyone’s :)

As far as Dunnes Stores shops go — this isn’t that bad!

In fairness its a big Dunnes, in fairness.
Probably the biggest and best stocked Dunnes Grocery I’ve been to. Clothes and homeware is pretty massive also.
The carpark is a bit cramped. Pedestians walk out where they shouldn’t. Drivers keep driving when they shouldn’t. The usual supermarket carpark madness so.
A-​OK

Dunnes stores cornelscourt is ok once you don’t expect friendly staff or when you have a complaint checkout managers that give a care what your complaint is.
It’s size as a shop gives it the edge over a lot of shops but there is hardly any customer service which is what puts me off
As for not selling plastic bags and charging 70c for a bag for life is just daft their nearest competitions bag for life is half the price and they also sell plastic bags

I had to update my review and take back a star. It’s a decent enough place to shop, but I have had a chance to live in this area a bit longer and have found this location to be more and more to be lacking. For example, I went in to pick up a few things on a Sunday. First off I’m told by the lady at the checkout that they don’t sell postage stamps. I know all Dunnes don’t sell them, but the one I used to live near does and felt this was a bit of a let down. The nice lady at the checkout did say across the road at the Spar they sold them so to try there. I then went looking for Lemsips to help with this cold I have. They don’t have them in the Dunnes there as there is a chemist in the building so you have to go there. Guess what? The chemist is closed on Sundays, so God help you if you get sick on a Sunday as this location will have nothing for you. Again, another friendly member of staff said try the Spar. After spending all that time walking around and ending up being told by the staff there everything I need is across the road at Spar, I had to ask myself why do I even bother going to Dunnes?

The Grocery side is ok even if you do have to walk miles to get what you want.
What annoys me is seeing a € 10 price tag on a cushion covering a £4 price tag. How can an Irish company do this to us? It is bad enough an English company charging more than the rate of exchange.
However they do have most things you might need under one roof with good parking.

The Dunnes Stores in Cornelscourt is probably the biggest in Dublin. There’s a vast range of clothing for ladies, gents and children, and the homewares section has very tasteful furnishings, crockery, bedding, garden furniture, bbqs, pots and pans, and many more besides.
The supermarket itself is well stocked, with an in-​store bakery, a butchers and a fishmongers section. All the food here is really fresh, and the focus (or so the ads go) is on Irish produce.
There’s a Dunnes café at the front of the shopping centre with reasonably priced tea and coffee, snacks and light meals.
The car park is quite big too so there is seldom a problem getting a parking space.
The shopping centre is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What nutters do their supermarket shop at 3am? Handy for them anyway.

Look lets call a spade a spade here… Dunnes Rocks our socks off!
we may find it hard to admit. and we may try and cover up the sheer amount of clothes shopping we have done within their stores but in the end we have all benefitted hugely from their low prices and great range!
They offer the common human being… the common Irish Citizen! The oportunity to purchase clothing which will tick all the boxes when it comes to rating clothing even if it isnt by nike, or with an Adidas sign on the back of it… if it fits… its good… and cheap!
So when you are wondering why you have so little money as you tie up your fancy new sneakers ask yourself how much money you would have if youd gotten something similar at Dunnes… and if there would really be THAT much difference in the product?!
Probably yes… but i can be patriotic can i not?
