McDonald's newest restaurant to open in Wexford
McDonald’s newest restaurant in Ireland is set to open next month, signalling an investment of €3m.
The new store, which will create 70 jobs initially in the local area, will open in New Ross in County Wexford on 11 February.
The development comprises a 400 square metre single-storey drive thru restaurant, with 50 car parking spaces, bicycle parking, electric car chargers and an outdoor seating area.
The restaurant will trade from 6am to midnight, seven days a week.
The 70 new jobs that have been created range from full-time and part-time crew member roles to mid and senior managerial positions.
McDonald’s Franchisee John Byrne said: “This major investment in New Ross reflects McDonald’s commitment to growing its business in Ireland and I’m pleased to confirm the new store has already created significant levels of employment, both directly and indirectly through the agri-food and manufacturing supply chain.”
Byrne, who also operates the McDonald's restaurants in Carlow, Blanchardstown and Wexford town, said that continuing to grow strong community links across County Wexford and the New Ross area will be a key focus for the restaurant team in the months ahead.
“McDonald’s is committed to feeding and fostering the local communities around our restaurants, so we are very much looking forward to building relationships with new local community groups, organisations and stakeholders in New Ross.”
“The new restaurant gives us a great opportunity to play our part in driving long-term economic prosperity in the wider area,” he added.

“We believe that the addition of this new McDonald’s restaurant can act as a catalyst for future business growth in County Wexford and we are excited to open to customers next month.”
The addition of the New Ross restaurant brings McDonald’s restaurant portfolio in the Republic of Ireland to 96, all of which are owned and operated by local Franchisees who collectively employ more than 7,000 staff nationwide.
