Mayo-founded business to create 1200 new jobs

Major service station and fuel business Corrib Oil has announced that they will be expanding their number of stores to 100 by 2030.

At present, the company operates six of its 38 service stations in County Mayo, as well as three fuel depots in Westport, Castlebar, and Claremorris.

The major plans, which will generate an estimated 1200 new roles on top of the 1150 current employees across the country, are part of an ambitious move from the Claremorris-founded business in order to expand their service.

Last year, the company launched a deal with US fast-food chain Wendy’s to open ten Irish stores by 2027, generating 300 new roles on top of the 1200 outlined in the recent expansion announcement.

Company CEO Eugene Dalton sees this as a signal of intent for the business.

“We are experiencing dynamic growth across multiple areas,” he stated, “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.”
