The 65-seat restaurant, located at the Circle K forecourt at junction 14 off the M8, brings to 91 the total number of McDonald’s restaurants operating in Ireland.
Mr Pim said, “I am really excited to bring this new restaurant to the Cork area. I am particularly pleased to be able to provide over 65 new full and part-time positions, with more to come in the future.
“McDonald’s offers excellent opportunities for career development and as always, we will be developing our own managers from within the business through continuous, structured training and education. In addition, we are seeking to employ customer care staff and customer experience leaders who enjoy working with people and creating the ultimate experience for our customers.”
