Ten new jobs have been created in Cork.
OffBeat Donuts has opened on French Church Street, with €500,000 being invested by the company in the new location on Leeside.
It's the first OffBeat Donuts outlet to open outside of Dublin, where there are 8 locations.
The opening of the Cork store brings the amount of people employed by the company to 100.
Corkman Brian O'Casey is founder of OffBeat Donuts, and he's delighted to open a branch in his home town.
"We are very excited to be expanding to Cork and bringing the magic of OffBeat donut making to the city. We have secured a fantastic location in Cork City and we are thrilled to be launching our first store outside of Dublin. Offbeat Donut’s aim remains the same and that is to revive the traditional bakery concept and simply to make donuts magic in every corner of the world.
"What will be interesting is to see whether the donut consumers in Cork have different tastes to those in Dublin. We will be watching sales closely, and working on bespoke products if particular trends emerge that are exclusive to Leesiders."
