McDonald's opens its 35th restaurant in Northern Ireland after £4m investment
Fast food giant McDonald's has opened its 35th restaurant in Northern Ireland in a £4m investment adding 120 new jobs.
McDonald's franchisee Bruce Bailie is the operator of the new 80-seater restaurant in Coleraine, its second in the Co Londonderry town.
Each of the 35 McDonald's restaurants in Northern Ireland are owned and managed by eight franchisees, who are all businesspeople from here.
Mr Bailie, who owns and operate both units in Coleraine, said he was pleased to build on community links he had developed in the town since first opening 30 years ago.
'McDonald's has been an important part of the local Coleraine community over the last 30 years and the opening of a second restaurant in the town is an indication of our commitment to the communities in which we serve here,' he added.
'Feeding and fostering local communities is at the heart and centre of the McDonald's business operation.
'With a lot of our crew at the restaurant hailing from the local area, we have a team that are passionate and looking forward to continuing our partnerships with neighbouring community groups, sports clubs and businesses.'
McDonald's said customers can order their food in store, at the drive-thru or via the MyMcDonald's app. The new restaurant has 39 car parking spaces
They will also be able to use McDelivery through McDonald's delivery partners, it added.
An economic impact report from McDonald's launched last year said that in 2023, McDonald's supported over 6,600 jobs both directly and indirectly in Northern Ireland.
It also said that the company contributed £322m of economic output (GVA) and spent almost £184m with Northern Irish businesses from its supply chain.
