Not only did the restaurant bring more food variety to the city but huge employment as thirty jobs are to be created at the new popular restaurant, joining the chain of other Boojum outlets in Ireland; Cork, Dublin, Galway and Belfast. 

The grand idea of Boojum Limerick was of David Maxwell and his brother, former Ulster rugby player Andrew, who took on the huge expansion of the ‘fast casual’ restaurant as they purchased it in 2015.
