Corrib Oil has announced plans to more than double its current service station footprint to 100 by the end of 2030, creating 1,200 new jobs.
The announcement comes after Corrib announced a franchise partnership with American quick-service restaurant brand Wendy’s.
Corrib’s ambitious expansion programme, blending new site developments with strategic acquisitions, will deliver at least four new service stations this year.
The first of these stores – located on Model Farm Road in Cork – will open this month, creating 30 new jobs.
Recruitment is already under way, with a number of roles still available.
‘Dynamic Growth’
Speaking about the expansion plan, the CEO of Corrib Oil, Eugene Dalton, said, “We are excited to unveil this significant step in our ambitious expansion programme.
“We have been growing our retail footprint over recent years, reflecting our firm focus on meeting the fuel, retail, and service station needs of communities.
“This expansion programme fast-tracks that growth further.
“We are experiencing dynamic growth across multiple areas, including our new partnership with Wendy’s [and] significant progress in our energy division, and this ambition is reflected in our target of doubling our retail footprint in the coming years.
“These open up a wide array of career opportunities for current team members and people looking to be part of a dynamic, fast-growing, community-based business.
“We care about the communities we serve, live and operate in.
“Through creating and supporting local jobs, we contribute to regional social and economic development, and we continue to invest in the communities where we are embedded through our sponsorship and charity initiatives.
“As we scale up, we are looking to recruit talented, motivated individuals who are passionate about delivering outstanding customer service and developing their career with us.
“We are recruiting for a variety of roles, ranging from store management and retail positions to opportunities in operations, supply chain, logistics, and office support functions.
“Whether someone is just starting in their career journey or seeking to develop their skills in a new area, we want to hear from you.”
Corrib Oil
Founded in 1987, Corrib Oil currently employs 1,150 people and has 38 service stations across 17 counties.
The Wendy’s partnership will bring ten new quick-service restaurants to Ireland over the next two years, adding to Corrib’s growing retail and dining offerings.
These sites will be a blend of stand-alone Wendy’s restaurants, as well as new Wendy’s offerings at existing Corrib service station locations.
It also has a residential and commercial fuel business.
Corrib has recently invested in a new online ordering platform, to provide another channel for customers to order domestic home-heating oil and gas, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
