Corrib Oil, one of Ireland’s leading service station and energy distribution providers, has announced that the first restaurant in their partnership with the global quick-service restaurant brand Wendy’s® will open in Mahon Point Shopping Centre in Cork in October, creating 50 new jobs that are currently open for recruitment. Corrib Oil was announced last year as Wendy’s franchise partner in Ireland.
As part of its commitment to the Irish market, Wendy’s will use 100% fresh Irish beef and chicken across its menu. The brand is best known for its square hamburgers, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, nuggets, and the iconic cool, creamy Frosty® dessert, as well as breakfast options, and a variety of wraps and kids’ meals – all of which will soon be available to hungry Cork customers in the Rebel County.

Corrib plans to hire 50 new crew members at the Mahon Point Wendy’s restaurant. Recruitment is underway for team members in full and part time roles, and interested applicants can find out more at www.wendys.ie
Founded in 1987, Corrib Oil currently operates 40 convenience stores with forecourts and 20 fuel depots across 17 counties. The partnership with Wendy’s is a key part of Corrib Oil’s broader expansion strategy in Ireland, which aims to more than double its national footprint to 100 locations by 2030 and continue to grow its home heating distribution and fuel card business.
Mahon Point Shopping Centre
Located just outside Cork city, Mahon Point Shopping Centre is one of Ireland’s premier retail destinations, attracting over 6 million visitors annually. With more than 60 retail outlets, a 13-screen cinema, and a wide range of food and beverage options, the centre is a vibrant, family-friendly environment, making it an ideal location for Wendy’s first restaurant in Ireland.
“Opening the first Wendy’s restaurant in Mahon Point marks a major milestone in our partnership with Wendy’s,” said Michael Dalton, Managing Director of Corrib Brands “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.”
Michael Clarke, Managing Director – Europe, The Wendy’s Company: “Ireland is a great market for long-term growth, and we’re proud to see our brand come to life here through our partnership with Corrib Oil. Their deep roots in the community and commitment to operational excellence make them an ideal partner to deliver the Wendy’s ‘globally great, locally even better’ experience. We’re excited to support the Corrib team as they bring Wendy’s fresh food and signature hospitality to communities across Ireland.”
Justin Young, Centre Director of Mahon Point Shopping Centre said: “To be part of bringing the very first Wendy’s restaurant to Ireland is really special. This opening is great news for Cork — not only does it create 50 new local jobs, but it also gives people the opportunity to enjoy the craveable, high-quality food Wendy’s is famous for.”
