LEON unveils first Irish restaurant
It comes with the plan to expand at Dundrum Town Centre.
Healthy fast-food chain Leon unveiled its first Irish store in Dublin as part of a plan to grow its estate to 20 restaurants by 2023.
Through a franchise partnership, the Irish arm has established its presence in a premises previously occupied by Eager Beaver vintage clothing store in Temple Bar.
In the Republic, Leon is controlled by Cibus Concepts, a franchise partnership established by Waterford accountant Stuart Fitzgerald and his business partner Brian McIntyre. The group is backed by individual high-net-worth equity investors, Mr. Fitzgerald previously told The Irish Times.
Group sales for the company which first established in London rose 24.5% in 2018 to £95 million. Leon has more than 50 branches in the UK and restaurants in Washington DC, Norway, Spain and the Netherlands.
