Throughout many changes to our city centre over the past 120 years, not least the extensive redevelopment that has recently been completed on O’Connell Street, O’Mahony’s Booksellers, one of Limerick’s best known and most beloved businesses has continued to thrive and consistently maintains a beautifully presented exterior with diverse, imaginative window displays and attractive flowerbeds at the entrance. It is a great asset to our city centre, and we are delighted to present our latest bi-monthly award to them.

Founded in 1902 by JP O’Mahony, Grandfather of the current owner Frank, O’Mahony’s Booksellers continues to trade from the same location and is the oldest retail business of its type in the Mid-West region. A family business, with customer service at the heart of all they do, O’Mahony’s staff are renowned for their friendliness and wealth of bookselling knowledge and are a huge part of the success of the company. O’Mahony’s are one of the largest independent book-sellers in the country and pride themselves on the wide selection and diversity of their stock over all book categories, local, national, international, educational and academic, as well as cards, gifts, boardgames, soft toys, jigsaw puzzles and stationery.
