KFC has opened a new restaurant on Dublin's Grafton Street and it is set to create over 80 jobs.

The 301m² restaurant sits across two floors and features 65 seats for customers.

Region Coach at KFC Ireland, Dan Foster, , said: “We wanted to do something really special for Grafton Street and treat the building, and the street itself, with the respect they deserve.

"We added bespoke, period-inspired touches - from mouldings and tiles to a gallery-style staircase and custom-made furniture, including a statement table made from recycled materials.

"It’s a space that feels rooted in Dublin’s history, but still very much KFC, and it shows how serious we are about opening great restaurants in historic locations.”
