Offbeat Donuts opens in Wexford creating 10 new jobs locally
Circle K on the M11 Gorey is among three Circle K sites along with Kilcullen and Athlone that will open new scratch donut bakeries. Co-Founder of Offbeat Donuts, Brian O'Casey, said: 'We are very excited about this opportunity to work with Circle K to bring this new scratch donut bakery concept to market. It showcases what Offbeat Donuts does best, local, artisan, in-store scratch baking with the finishing and topping of the donuts on-site. "You can see consumers engaging with the baking process and getting excited when they see their favourite donuts being made in front of them. It's also fantastic to see Offbeat opening in locations across Ireland outside of Dublin and Cork, bringing our unique Irish offering – as well as jobs – to new regions.' Offbeat Donuts, Ireland's leading artisan donut brand, has partnered with Circle K to open three brand new scratch bakeries in key forecourt locations across the country. At each location, customers can enjoy the full Offbeat experience, watching donuts being baked, topped, and decorated fresh on-site throughout the day. Other food offerings are also available at these busy, high-footfall service stations, which include McDonald's, Subway, Camile Thai, and Circle K's own barista coffee, fresh food, and self-serve hot meals. Each new bakery will create over 10 new jobs locally, bringing Offbeat's total Irish workforce to over 160 people. Speaking about the partnerships, Managing Director of Circle K Ireland, Ciara Foxton, said: 'We're thrilled to announce our new partnership with Offbeat Donuts, with three scratch bakeries opening at Circle K M9 Kilcullen, M6 Athlone, and M11 Gorey. We're proud to play a part in Offbeat Donuts' expansion outside Dublin and Cork and in the process, helping to create thirty new jobs for their business. 'This partnership not only builds on Circle K's expansive food offering but also reinforces our commitment to supporting Irish businesses and communities nationwide, which is a fantastic follow-on from our recent Guaranteed Irish accreditation.'
