The new Wendy\u2019s restaurant will create 60 new jobs, with recruitment now underway across a range of roles.<\/p>\n
The announcement marks the next milestone in Corrib Oil\u2019s development agreement with The Wendy\u2019s Company. The Tullamore location will also include a drive-thru, responding to growing customer demand.<\/p>\n
The announcement follows the successful opening of Ireland\u2019s first Wendy\u2019s restaurant at Mahon Point Shopping Centre in Cork last October, which has seen strong customer demand since opening and created more than 60 jobs.<\/p>\n
Tullamore Retail Park is located just inside the N52 ring road, five minutes from Tullamore town centre and approximately 10 minutes from the M6 Dublin\u2013Galway motorway.<\/p>\n
Welcoming the announcement, managing director for Corrib Brands, Michael Dalton said: \u201cSet to open this May, the new restaurant, complete with a drive-thru, will create 60 new local jobs and bring Wendy\u2019s signature quality, freshness and hospitality to the heart of the midlands.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is another important step in our long-term expansion strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n
As with the Cork restaurant, the Tullamore Wendy\u2019s will serve a menu built around 100pc fresh Irish beef and hand-breaded chicken burgers and tenders, sourced from Irish-based food companies Kepak and Western Brand.<\/p>\n
The menu will also feature the brand\u2019s best-known items, including its famous square hamburgers and the iconic Frosty dessert. Breakfast options, wraps and kids meals will also be available when the restaurant opens later this spring.<\/p>\n
Managing director, Europe for the Wendy\u2019s Company, Michael Clarke said: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to see Wendy\u2019s continue its growth in Ireland with the opening of the Tullamore restaurant.<\/p>\n
\u201cCorrib Oil has proven to be a strong partner, and we\u2019re excited to bring Wendy\u2019s \u2018globally great, locally loved\u2019 experience to more Irish customers when the restaurant opens this spring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the coming years, Corrib plans to open 10 Wendy\u2019s locations across Ireland, both as standalone restaurants and at select Corrib Oil service stations, creating more than 300 jobs nationwide. Further Wendy\u2019s locations will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new Wendy\u2019s restaurant will create 60 new jobs, with recruitment now underway across a range of roles.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,61,60,5657],"class_list":["post-281449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-louise-hickey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
