Established by three sisters, Gretta Gibbs opened its doors on 29 November 1985 and went on to trade in Limerick for 36 years.
A boutique store for women, Gretta Gibbs was one of the first stores in Limerick that catered to all sizes.
The store operated from its location on 4 Bedford Row for 21 years (1985–2006) before moving to Catherine Street and eventually closing in 2021.
This site was one of 12 listed venues for the 20th edition of EVA in 1996, curated by Guy Tortosa (b. 1961, France).
At this venue, Marylène Negro (b. 1957, France) exhibited I Love Art (1996), which included a window installation as well as a series of advertisements, placed in art magazines in Ireland and France.
