Description
American fast food restaurant group, Wendy’s, will create 300 new jobs over the next three years, as the group enters the Irish market for the first time.
The company is to open 10 Wendy’s restaurants between 2025 and 2027. A recruitment campaign will be launched in early 2025 to fill the 300 jobs.
The initial site locations will be a mix of stand-alone restaurants alongside Wendy’s locations in a number of Corrib Oil service stations. Corrib Oil is to become a franchise partner of Wendy’s.
