Corrib Oil, a service station and energy provider, is set to create 50 jobs with the opening of its first Wendy's fast food restaurant in Mahon Point Shopping Centre, Cork. The restaurant, scheduled to open in October, will feature 100% Irish beef and chicken on its menu, reflecting Corrib's commitment to local sourcing [1].

The partnership between Corrib Oil and Wendy's is a key component of Corrib's expansion strategy in Ireland. The company aims to more than double its national footprint to 100 locations by 2030, while also growing its home heating distribution and fuel card business [1]. Corrib plans to hire 50 crew members in full and part-time roles to support the new restaurant.

Michael Dalton, managing director of Corrib Brands, commented on the partnership, stating, "Opening the first Wendy's restaurant in Mahon Point marks a major milestone in our partnership with Wendy's. We're thrilled to bring Wendy's to Cork, offering fresh and locally sourced menu items and outstanding hospitality to local customers, who will be the first in Ireland to experience the brand" [1].

Wendy's, known for its square hamburgers, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, nuggets, and Frosty® dessert, is expanding its global footprint. The US fast food chain has over 7,200 restaurants, with about 1,200 located outside of the United States [1]. The partnership with Corrib Oil is part of Wendy's long-term growth strategy in the Irish market.

Recruitment for the new Wendy's restaurant is currently underway. Interested applicants can find more information on the Wendy's Ireland website [2].
