UAE, Dubai, 12th November 2024:

McGettigan’s, the renowned Irish pub group headquartered in Dubai, announces its strategic initiative to expand its franchise network both regionally and globally. With a rich heritage that dates back to 1964 and a successful operational track record of over 14 years in the GCC, as well as established venues in Ireland and the UK, McGettigan’s is actively seeking new partners to join its rapidly growing family.

The group is looking for hospitality operators and investors who are passionate about delivering exceptional food, fantastic drinks, and creating memorable experiences.

"We have established a solid reputation across the GCC and beyond, with numerous international venues thriving under our brand," says Dennis McGettigan, CEO of McGettigan’s Group. "Our franchise model is ready for significant expansion, and we are keen to find like-minded partners in key territories around the world to share and grow the modern Irish pub experience that McGettigan’s offers."

Adding to the strategic leadership team, McGettigan’s recently welcomed Pete Lyons as the Director of Business Development. With over 25 years of hospitality experience and a 15-year tenure in the GCC, Pete has overseen several high-profile hospitality estates, including directing all hospitality operations on the $15 billion man-made island, The Pearl in Doha, Qatar. "Pete’s extensive experience and insight into the hospitality industry are invaluable as we push forward with our global expansion plans," added McGettigan.

McGettigan’s has forged strong partnerships with major hotel brands such as Hilton, IHG, and Marriott, providing an exceptional foundation for potential franchisees. The group offers unique opportunities for establishing thriving pubs in both tourist-heavy and expatriate markets, suitable for large estates or standalone venues.

As part of its expansion, McGettigan’s is also developing several new concepts to complement the success story that has defined the brand for decades. Interested parties are encouraged to visit the group’s franchise page for more information and to make any partnership inquiries.
