A NEW Four Star Pizza outlet has created 18 jobs in Coleraine.
The Irish pizza chain, which operates 48 stores across the island of Ireland, including 12 in the north, has opened a new outlet on Railway Road in the town, through a £90,000 investment.
The new store which also has a ‘sit-in’ option that can cater for up to 20 customers on-site, is expected to deliver more than 80,000 fresh pizzas to homes in the Coleraine area over the next 12 months - using Over one million pepperoni slices, 10 tonnes of cheese and 17 tonnes of flour in the process.
Owner Bobby Singh said he is confident the new store will go down a treat with locals.
"I’ve always wanted to open a pizza store in Coleraine and Four Star Pizza was an obvious choice for me, due to the strength of the brand, quality of the product and the incredible support, knowledge and training that the company offers its franchisees."
“Coleraine is a great area with plenty of pizza lovers, so I knew that this was the perfect location for us. We have invested over £90,000 in the new store which will provide a welcome boost to the local economy in Coleraine, with the creation of 18 new jobs to help us meet the anticipated demand from customers in the area,” he added.
Four Star Pizza’s first Northern Ireland restaurant was opened in 1999 on Belfast’s Beersbridge Road and other locations include Bangor, Carrickfergus, Newry, Drumahoe, Derry, Armagh and Newtownabbey.
To celebrate the new store, Bobby and his team are offering customers a X-Large pizza for £10 from Monday November 27 to Sunday December 3 , as well as the chance to win themselves tasty prizes all week on the store’s Facebook page.
