Healthy fast food chain Chopped has announced the opening of six new outlets in Dublin and in Co Kildare.
Chopped said the new restaurants will employ up to 120 new staff.
Founded by Andy Chen and Brian Lee in 2012, the company specialises in freshly made salads, wraps and sandwiches with healthy ingredients.
There are currently 13 Chopped outlets.
The new outlet planned for the Whitewater Shopping Centre in Newbridge in Co Kildare as part of this latest expansion will be the company's first outside Dublin.
Among the new other new locations is The Loop in Dublin Airport where the company will open its second "Chopped by Aramark" outlet.
This new restaurant will operate under the terms of a partnership with catering company Aramark, which also owns the Avoca chain.
Four other new outlets will open over the next month in Dundrum, the Pavilions Shopping Centre in Swords, Dublin's O'Connell Street and Talbot Street in Dublin city centre.
