About Us

Allens of Kilkenny was established in 1948 by Mary & Patrick Allen. The family now in its third generation opened the Carlow store in 1980 followed by the Athlone store in 2004. We are very excited about the opening of our lastest store in Limerick city centre, this store will be open in the second half of 2011 and will concentrate on gifts and kitchenware. Why not catch a sneak preview on our Limerick contact page.

It’s all about choice

We enjoy the challenge of maintaining and growing an excellent choice of quality gifts and kitchen products along with endeavouring to find exciting and unusual items for our home and gift departments.

We have found that concentrating on the widest possible choice is key to satisfying our customer’s needs, from china to casual dining, contemporary design to classical or crystal to glassware, we will most certainly have the item of your choice.

Price conscious in difficult times

Over the good and difficult times we have maintained a keen pricing structure and have gift and home products to suit you at the right price.
