About us...
The first Dealz stores were opened in Blanchardstown and Portlaoise by Poundland in 2011. Since then, Dealz has opened many more stores and developed a reputation for offering top brands, local Irish brands and quality own-brand products at an amazing value. We sell everything from food and drink to DIY, pet products to stationery, not forgetting our very own fashion brand, PEP&CO. We have recently invested £45 million in the business, opened new stores and revamped existing ones. We’re on an exciting journey, and you can be a part of it.
We’re proud to have been recognised as one of the Top 100 companies to work for in Ireland in 2022. We’re part of a much larger group in Europe called Pepco which has 3,000 stores in 17 territories serving 50 million shoppers, and the size of our business means there are so many opportunities for you to come and join us.
