The original business was founded in Westport by Sean and Nora O’Connor with the opening of a general grocery store on the Octagon in 1952. In 1979 Noel Kavanagh, Managing Director of the Kavanagh Group, took over the management of the business and began to expand the company. This progression has led to the Kavanagh Group owning fourteen large supermarkets across Ireland and Britain.
