Arby's, American fast-food restaurant chain headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, has announced plans for growth in Costa Rica.

In November 2022, the quick-service and fast-casual restaurant launched its first location in Curridabat Canton, San José. Currently, the brand owns three eateries, including City Mall in Alajuela and Oxígeno Mall in Heredia.

According to a statement by Arblat, the company that owns the Arby's franchise as well as other well-known American restaurant chains such as Burger King, Domino's Pizza and Popeyes, at least 15 fresh locations will open in the country.

The company is currently recruiting cooks, cashiers, clerks, administrative assistants, and restaurant managers. Job qualifications include the flexibility to work shifting schedules and experience working in restaurants. Those interested in applying for a job position should call 506-24598-888 or visit the Domino's Pizza Costa Rica website, which is part of the same company franchise.

Arby's, with over 3,400 restaurants worldwide, is best known for serving roast beef sandwiches, wraps, chicken sandwiches and milkshakes.

Arby's is one of many American food brand restaurants investing in Costa Rica. Recently, Dunkin', a U.S. and internationally recognized coffee and donuts shop company, announced the opening of more locations in the country.

Even though new international companies are creating jobs in Costa Rica, the unemployment rate is 7.8%, according to the National Employment Survey. Data recorded from May to July shows more than 186,000 people without registered jobs. Of these, 106,000 are men, making up 57% of the unemployed people in the country.
