Menarys

The group was founded by Joseph Alexander, a draper in Cookstown in 1923, who added a store in Dungannon.

Stores owned by Menary Brothers in the Craigavon area were acquired in the 1970s and this name was used for further expansion of the group.

The group's head office, situated at Moygashel, near Dungannon is named 'Alexander House'.

Menarys stores now offer household goods, cookware, lingerie, accessories, luggage and cosmetics in addition to these products, while Tempest is made up of high-street brands aimed at younger women's fashion.

Menarys have branches in the following locations in Northern Ireland: Antrim; Bangor; Coleraine; Cookstown; Dungannon; Larne; Limavady; Lisburn; Newry (2 stores); Newtownards; Omagh; Craigavon; Republic of Ireland: Letterkenny; Carrick-on-Shannon;
