Topaz-McDonald's JV to create jobs in Ireland
More than 200 jobs are expected to be created upon the development of two Topaz service stations with McDonald's restaurants. The petrol stations will rise in Ireland's busiest routes, one in Carlow and one in Cork, according to a company release.
The Carlow site is set to open in March while the one in Cork will be completed in autumn of this year.
The construction costs €16 million with Topaz investing €14 million and McDonald's with €2 million.
"Today’s announcement is a key milestone in the continued expansion of our retail network and we have no doubt it will be a tremendous benefit and service to commuters, tourists, locals, and passers-by,” said Niall Anderton MD of Topaz.
"At McDonald’s we are delighted to be bringing our world-class food offering to drivers along Ireland’s busy motorway network," said Nigel McGuire, Director of Property and Supply Chain, McDonald’s.
