What are Woodies Lucan opening hours?

Weekday hours

• Monday to Thursday: 9:00 to 21:00 — confirmed by the Garden Centre Guide (tier2 aggregator).
• Friday: same 9:00 to 21:00 schedule (LocalMint (local business listing)).

Independent directories such as the Garden Centre Guide and LocalMint mirror these times, adding confidence.

Weekend hours

• Saturday: 9:00 to 19:00 (Bray Retail Park (shopping centre listing)).
• Sunday: 10:00 to 18:00 — the same pattern seen at other Irish Woodie’s stores such as Bray Retail Park.

Bank holiday hours

The Woodie’s Help Centre (official support portal) states that bank holiday hours typically follow the Sunday schedule: 10:00 to 18:00. A historical Christmas 2019 opening hours PDF (Woodie’s corporate document) confirms that holiday exceptions are posted in advance.

Bottom line: Woodie’s Lucan follows the standard Irish retail schedule: late weekday hours, shorter Saturdays, and a relaxed Sunday. For bank holidays, treat Sunday hours as the default.

How to get 10% off woodies?

Available discounts

Woodie’s offers a 10% senior citizens discount in-store every Tuesday and Thursday. The Woodie’s Help Centre (official policy page) clearly states the offer is for customers aged 60 and over with valid ID. However, the discount does not apply to lawnmowers, garden power tools, sheds, showers, pressure washers, Karcher, or DeWalt items. It cannot be combined with special offers or other promotions.

Steps to claim the discount

1. Visit the Lucan store on a Tuesday or Thursday.
2. Bring valid photo ID showing your date of birth.
3. Select full-price items that are not on the exclusion list.
4. Present your ID at checkout to receive the 10% deduction.

No voucher code is needed — the discount is applied automatically upon proof of age. The help centre also notes that the discount cannot be used online.

What day is the over 60 discount at Woodies?

Senior discount day

The Woodie’s Help Centre (official policy) confirms the senior discount is available every Tuesday and Thursday. Interestingly, the page title references only Thursday, but the body text and the article URL both specify both days.

Age requirement

The minimum age is 60, and a valid ID must be presented in-store. There is no mention of a maximum age or a cap on the number of uses.

The implication: plan your visit for a Tuesday or Thursday to take advantage, but note that the discount is in-store only and excludes certain categories.

How much do woodies pay per hour?

Woodie’s hourly pay

Woodie’s does not publicly list its hourly pay rates on the official website. According to salary data aggregated on Indeed Ireland (job listings and salary tool), typical retail wages in Ireland for similar roles range from €10 to €15 per hour, depending on experience and position.

Dunnes Stores hourly pay

Dunnes Stores, a direct competitor in Irish home goods, reportedly pays an average of €11 to €13 per hour for retail associates, based on user-reported salaries on Indeed Ireland.

Tesco Ireland hourly pay

Tesco Ireland, another major retailer, lists entry-level hourly pay around €11 to €12, per Indeed Ireland salary data.

The trade-off: Woodie’s likely pays in line with the Irish retail standard, but without official disclosure, exact figures remain speculative. For comparison, see our B&Q Dublin: Stores, Delivery & Discounts Guide for pay data on another DIY chain.

What company owns Woodies?

Parent company

Woodie’s is 100% Irish owned and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Grafton Group plc (building materials distributor), which is headquartered in Dublin and listed on the London Stock Exchange. The Woodie’s About Us page confirms this ownership structure.

History

Founded in 1995, Woodie’s has grown to over 35 stores across the Republic of Ireland, all under the same parent group. The Grafton Group also owns other DIY chains such as Heiton’s in Ireland and is a major player in the UK builders’ merchant market.

Bottom line: Woodie’s is a homegrown Irish chain with the financial backing of a multi-billion-pound parent. For shoppers, that means local management with stable corporate support.

“We’re open Monday to Friday 09:00 to 21:00, Saturday 09:00 to 19:00 and Sunday 10:00 to 18:00.”

For shoppers in Lucan, the choice is clear: plan for standard hours, bring your ID on a Tuesday or Thursday for the 10% discount, and remember that Woodie’s is a local Irish chain with a strong parent company. If you’re job-seeking, expect pay in line with the national retail average, but confirm directly with the store for specifics.
