O’Mahony’s Booksellers

O’Mahony’s was founded in 1902 at 120 O’Connell St. Limerick by J.P.O’Mahony, grandfather of the current owner Frank, and continues to trade from the same location. It is the oldest retail business of its type in the region and has developed from a single store of 450sq.ft. into a 25,000sq.ft. retail operation in the Mid-West and South-West of Ireland.

A family business, with customer service as the main distinguishing factor between it and other bookselling businesses in the country, O’Mahony’s employs 65 staff who have a wealth of bookselling knowledge, enjoy their work and contribute to the ongoing success of this company. With its Limerick headquarters – the recipient of an RIAI award – and three other branches, no Irish bookseller can match the wide diversity of stock and broad customer base as O’Mahony’s.

With over 17,000sq.ft. of retail space in the centre of Limerick O’Mahony’s is one of the largest independent bookshop in the country. O’Mahony’s prides itself in having a pleasing environment in which to work and shop, and in presenting a wide selection of stock with over 100,000 titles available in all book categories, local, national, international, educational and academic. Also stocked are cards, gifts, boardgames, jigsaw puzzles and stationery.
