Guineys (/ˈɡnz/), is a chain of Irish department stores founded in June 1971. The chain specialises in homewares, menswear, womenswear and children's clothing.[1] They have 11 stores in Ireland, located in Dublin, Limerick, Waterford, Castlebar, Tralee, Cork, Clonmel, Mullingar, Kilkenny,[2] and, as of December 2018, one in Northern Ireland, at Castle Place in central Belfast. It is well known for having its two Dublin stores almost within sight of each other - one on North Earl Street and one on Talbot Street, two streets which run directly into each other, off O'Connell Street.[3]
