Apache Pizza has opened its 200th store on the island of Ireland and created its 3,000th job as it continues to pursue a rapid expansion strategy that is set to deliver 50 new jobs before the end of the year.

“We are expanding rapidly across the island of Ireland as demand for our tasty pizzas continues to grow. We are on track to open 19 new stores for 2023 bringing our total to 203 stores. This level of growth underlines our position as Ireland’s largest and fastest growing pizza chain,” said Martin Lyons, CEO of Apache Pizza.

“Apache Pizza is an incredible Irish success story. We opened our first store in Balbriggan in 1996. Today, we have 200 stores and employ 3,000 people in communities all over the island of Ireland. We are exceptionally proud of what we have achieved,” he added.

‘Our continued growth and expansion is down to being local to homes, businesses, schools and universities and our ‘We Love Extra’ way of doing things, offering generous toppings, dips, ingredients, flavour and value to our customers,” said Mr. Lyons.

The 50 new jobs being created at Apache Pizza include positions for supervisors, managers, customer service representatives and delivery couriers.
