Journey to 145
We’re incredibly proud of our heritage. As we continue to celebrate our 145th year in business, we have been reflecting on how far we, and the world we live in, has come since we were founded in 1876.
The spirit of enterprise, integrity and innovation which characterises Musgrave is what makes us unique. Through economic downturns and significant world events, our policy of investing, changing and innovating has been key to our success.
It is as we reflect on our past that we realise how much our values and people have made Musgrave what it is today; strong, resilient and ready to continue in the spirit of our innovative founders who had a progressive and dynamic approach to business.
Our History

To the next 145
From our original small grocery store owned by two brothers, we’re now Ireland’s largest private employer with over 41,000 employees. Our family business is sustaining long term stable relationships, built on a bedrock of honesty, working hard, achievement and not being greedy. Our values stand us in good stead in the modern world.
As we continue to adapt, innovate and move forward into the future, these principles will be at the heart of every decision we make.
