Corrib Oil to double store count by 2030
The move, which includes a new franchise partnership with Wendy’s, will create 1,200 jobs across the country
Print13 February 2025
Corrib Oil, one of Ireland’s leading service station and energy providers, has announced plans to more than double its nationwide store presence to 100 by 2030, creating 1,200 new jobs across the country.
The announcement comes just weeks after Corrib announced a franchise partnership with quick-service restaurant brand, Wendy’s®.
Corrib’s ambitious expansion programme, blending new site developments with strategic acquisitions, will deliver at least four new service stations this year.
Expansion
The first of these stores, located on Model Farm Road in Cork, is set to open this month, creating 30 new jobs. Recruitment is already underway with a number of roles still available.
Corrib Oil, founded in 1987, currently employs 1,150 people, and has 38 service station stores across 17 counties.
The Wendy’s partnership will bring 10 new quick-service restaurants to Ireland over the next two years, adding to Corrib’s growing retail and dining offerings.
These sites will be a blend of standalone Wendy’s restaurants as well as new Wendy’s offerings at existing Corrib service station locations.
Residential and commercial
It also has a residential and commercial fuel business.
The business has recently invested in a new online ordering platform to provide another channel for customers to order domestic home heating oil and gas.
This investment enables customers to order online 24/7, 365 days a year ensuring that they never run out of oil.
This is the first of many digital enhancements Corrib Oil is rolling out to support customers across the business.
Significant step
“We have been growing our retail footprint over recent years, reflecting our firm focus on meeting the fuel, retail and service station needs of communities. This expansion programme fast-tracks that growth further,” said Eugene Dalton, chief executive officer, Corrib Oil.
“We are experiencing dynamic growth across multiple areas, including our new partnership with Wendy’s, significant progress in our energy division, and this ambition is reflected in our target of doubling our retail footprint in the coming years.”
These open up a wide array of career opportunities for current team members and people looking to be part of a dynamic, fast-growing, community-based business.
Dalton said that through creating and supporting local jobs, Corrib Oil contributes to regional social and economic development, and it continues to invest in the communities where it is embedded through its sponsorship and charity initiatives.
Recruiting
“As we scale up, we are looking to recruit talented, motivated individuals who are passionate about delivering outstanding customer service and developing their career with us.
“We are recruiting for a variety of roles, ranging from store management and retail positions to opportunities in operations, supply chain, logistics and head office support functions. Whether someone is just starting their career journey or seeking to develop their skills in a new area, we want to hear from you,” Dalton concluded.
