Over 100 jobs are to be created as Belfast-based burrito chain plans four new stores across Ireland.

Two of the new branches will be in Belfast, with two more in the Republic. Boojum opened back in 2007 and has two stores in Belfast, in Botanic and the city centre.

Brothers David and Andrew Maxwell took over the Mexican chain last year.

"Plans for 2016 would be four new store openings," David told the Belfast Telegraph.

The paper reports that the brothers are looking at Great Victoria Street, and a second unknown location.

Employment could rise from 150 to around 270. They are also looking at a store in Dublin and either a second in the city, or in Galway.

David added: "They can get a seat and can sit down. Boojum is also expanding and growing the way it does business by looking at delivery, corporate catering and card payments.

"What we see in the future is online ordering and delivery. They are trading well and we are very happy.

"We are probably further ahead than we thought we would be seven months ago."
