The founder of one of the country’s most successful accountancy firms, is heading a consortium that has just bought the Four Star Pizza franchise in Ireland.
The accountant is the lead investor in Zowington, a company that is believed to have paid more than €5m for the Irish rights to the Four Star Pizza trademark. The franchise was purchased from Anne O’Leary, the Wicklow businesswoman.
Zowington has also agreed to purchase the rights to the international trademark for Britain and is drawing up plans to bring the franchise to that market.
It is understood that the new owners plan to double the size of the chain over the next five years. There are 32 Four Star Pizza outlets in Ireland, most of them in the republic.
