At Popeyes we're on a mission to be the most loved QSR brand in Ireland. With ambitious national growth plans, our property acquisition strategy will drive that growth - with a key focus on expanding across Ireland.
This is a unique opportunity to make a big mark on one of the fastest-growing restaurant brands. You'll lead the charge in securing new sites across Ireland and bringing them to life as thriving restaurants.
