  • Hodges Figgis is a bookshop located on Dawson Street in Dublin. Founded in 1768, it was moved and expanded numerous times until 1992, when it settled into its current location at 56-58 Dawson Street. It is given a passing mention in James Joyce's modernist novel Ulysses, where it would have been situated at 104 Grafton Street. The shop briefly housed a coffee shop on the first floor, but this was removed in 2002 during renovations to expand the space used for the shelving of stock. Hodges Figgis also operate the student bookshop in Dublin City University. For some time in the late 19th and in the 20th century, the company also published a number of books, often on Irish topics.Hodges Figgis is now owned by Waterstones, and operates as an integral part of the group, with the exception of operating its own loyalty stamp scheme instead of the Waterstones Plus card. It was the second highest performing store in the chain in 2015 and 2018 only outstripped by Waterstones flagship store in Piccadilly. Waterstones do operate a limited number of other stores in Ireland; but closed their other Dublin stores - which included one directly opposite Hodges Figgis - in 2011. It has been mentioned in The Wall Street Journal as well as popular works of fiction like "Conversations with Friends". (en)
