Boojum opened in the Merrion Centre on Wednesday (April 10). The new opening comes after success in Ireland, as the business grew from one Belfast store back in 2007 to 16 across the country.
This Merrion Street venue is the first in the mainland UK. Boojum brings its high-quality natural ingredients and famously generous portions to Leeds, in the hopes of expanding the Mexican food offering in the city.
Here are 11 pictures inside Boojum in the Merrion Centre.
