Service station and energy company Corrib Oil has announced plans to more than double its nationwide store presence to 100 by 2030, creating 1,200 jobs across the country.
The company said it will deliver at least four new service stations this year.
The first of these stores, located on the Model Farm Road in Cork, is set to open this month, creating 30 new jobs.
Corrib's expansion programme will consist of new site developments and strategic acquisitions.
Recruitment is under way for a variety of roles, ranging from store management and retail positions to opportunities in operations, supply chain, logistics and head office support functions.
The company currently employs 1,150 people, and has 38 service station stores across 17 counties.
In November 2024, Corrib announced that it had reached an agreement to become the Irish franchise partner for US fast food chain Wendy's.
The partnership will bring 10 new quick-service restaurants to Ireland over the next two years.
The sites will be a blend of standalone Wendy’s restaurants as well as new Wendy’s offerings at existing Corrib service station locations.
Announcing its retail expansion programme, Corrib Oil's chief executive Eugene Dalton said it reflects the company’s growth strategy.
"We have been growing our retail footprint over recent years, reflecting our firm focus on meeting the fuel, retail and service station needs of communities," Mr Dalton said.
"This expansion programme fast-tracks that growth further," he added.
