Burgess is a long established, family run department store and is something of an institution in Athlone, which combines the best traditions of the past with the style of the future.

In welcoming and attractive surroundings Burgess offers our customers a wide selection of ladies fashion and accessories, menswear, childrenswear (occassionwear and school uniform) , lingerie, nightwear and hosiery, as well as bed and bath linens, soft furnishings and all kinds of cookware and kitchen appliances.

Although our store today is unrecognisable from the original store of over 165 years ago, our philosophies remain the same. We are extremely customer focused and enjoy a high reputation for customer care. We aim to offer the best merchandise to meet our customers' needs in a pleasant environment to which they return again and again. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff. We are a focal point in the local community and will always strive for this to continue.
The uniqueness of Burgess is that we are still 100% Irish, family owned and run. This, in today's rapidly changing economic climate is quite rare and something of which we are very proud.
