The restuarant in Limerick is the brainchild of David Maxwell and his brother, the former Ulster rugby star Andrew, who have embarked on an aggressive expansion of the ‘fast casual’ restaurant since they purchased it in 2015.
It’s the firm’s 13th outlet nationwide.
The companyalso teamed up with the Limerick Chamber to host an event for business people in the city this Wednesday evening.
Boojum Limerick is open every day, from 11.30am to 10pm.
