PROFILE |
 |
Intrigue once shared the aisles with groceries, housewares, and clothing at Dunnes Stores. The #2 supermarket retailer in Ireland (Tesco is #1), Dunnes Stores offers brand-name and its own St. Bernard-brand grocery items; housewares for every room; and clothing for men, women, and children in more than 120 stores in Ireland, the UK, and Spain. The company is Ireland's largest family-owned business and perhaps its most dramatic business as well; former Dunnes Stores chief Ben Dunne Jr., son of the founder, was deposed in 1992 after he was arrested in the US for drug use and investigated at home for allegedly bribing government officials. The company plans to expand with up to 25 new outlets in the UK and Spain.
