The latest American brand to announce plans to enter the Irish market says it is “focused on building long-term relationships with franchisees in Ireland”.
Wendy’s, an international fast food restaurant chain, founded by Dave Thomas back in 1969, "is actively seeking well-established franchisee candidates in Ireland".
They’re looking for candidates that have “strong operations experience, local development expertise, ambition to grow quickly, and a proven track record of growing brands in Ireland to help Wendy’s reach its full potential,” the announcement read.

The chain consists of more than 7,000 restaurants worldwide and has an ambitious strategy to accelerate global growth using its franchising model, following its recent success in the UK - where they have a total of 25 restaurants so far.
Speaking about the latest update involving Irish locations, Abigail Pringle, President, International & Chief Development Officer of The Wendy’s Company said, “Quality is at the core of everything we do, including our food and our people.
“As we continue to expand our international footprint, we are focused on building long-term relationships with franchisees in Ireland who want to grow with us, share our values and reflect the communities in which we operate.
“We are committed to serving high-quality, great-tasting food, and intend to offer our wide range of crave-able menu options, including our famous square hamburgers made with fresh beef patties and served hot off the grill.”
Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas, opened the first Wendy’s restaurant in 1969 with an unwavering commitment to serve fresh, high-quality food, at a fair price, in a comfortable atmosphere.
The global quick-service restaurant brand based in Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A., is best known for its made-to-order square hamburgers, freshly prepared salads, and other signature items like chili, baked potatoes, and the Frosty dessert.
An exact date for its arrival in Ireland is yet to be determined by the company, as well as its first location.
