New Member Announcement: Good's

Written by Evie Bowers
Published on 20 Aug, 2024

We are pleased to announce that Good's has joined the AIS community.

Founded in 1927 by Henry Good, the latest addition to our membership, has remained family-run and is now under the leadership of Henry's granddaughter, Heidi Good. Continuously adapting to trends and customer needs, Good's stands as a testament to enduring quality and service, remaining at the forefront of fashion retail for nearly 100 years. 

Good's is a department store largely dedicated to women of every age and every style. Under one roof, she can be dressed and accessorised, head to toe and from inside out. With many fashion brands including Phase Eight, Whistles, Benetton, and Quiz to name but a few all the fashion is complimented by our Lingerie, Cosmetics and Accessories departments along with our concession partners Shoe Suite. For the finish touches, she can avail of a wide range of services in our Express Beauty Bar. An added extra in the store, though not just for women, is our Kids fashion department.

Vivian Good, Chairman, said

"I am delighted we are once again a member of AIS. This time it is my two daughters, Heidi and Mandy, who are leading the business, the third generation to do so. The friendships I made were a very important additional benefit to our membership and much was learned during the many informal occasions when members came together.

I wish AIS and all its members continued success in the future." 


Heidi Good, Managing Director, added

"We are truly thrilled to be back with AIS. We are looking forward to the many benefits of membership from new brands to ongoing insights and support. Indeed, we are very excited that we can once again offer First Avenue to the Kilkenny City woman." 

Kilkenny, situated about 100km south of Dublin, is home to around 26000 people, making it, for most people, a town. However, in 1609, James 1 constituted the town as a city, to which Kilkenny still proudly lay claim to today. This also hints to what kind of place Kilkenny City is, a place rich in history, with a castle right in the centre, which receives over 1.5 million visitors a year, and at the other end of town, St Canice's Cathedral, which dates back to the 13th century. In between, there is much more history to be seen along side many wonderful shops and restaurants to visit. Goods is in the centre of the city and in close proximity to several other family run businesses who are 2nd and 3rd generation. This provides a unique experience for all who come into "town".
