Applegreen is creating just over 100 new jobs at the new Dunshaughlin facility, which will also include an M&S Food shop-in-shop outlet, a new Braeburn Coffee Caf\u00e9, a Burger King restaurant, and Crafted, Applegreen\u2019s new deli offering.<\/p>\n

The new service area will also have an Applegreen convenience store, a service station forecourt, and an initial eight ultra-Fast EV charging ports.<\/p>\n

Managing director of Applegreen\u2019s Republic of Ireland business, Seamus Stapleton said: \u201cWhen we announced our plan to bring Taco Bell to Ireland back in April, we were thrilled to see that our customers were just as excited as we were about bringing Taco Bell here.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to confirm today that Ireland\u2019s first Taco Bell will be located at Applegreen\u2019s new motorway service area on the M3 at Dunshaughlin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe plan to open several additional Taco Bell restaurants at our Irish locations over the next five years, and we will update consumers as soon as we have more news of future restaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dunshaughlin facility is Applegreen\u2019s largest single investment project in Ireland this year, and is part Applegreen\u2019s \u20ac1 billion plan to expand its business in Ireland, the UK and the United States over the next five years, according to Stapleton.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very significant addition to the Applegreen network in Ireland, as we\u2019re opening a state-of-the-art new facility on the M3, which up until now didn\u2019t have a dedicated services option,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Dunshaughlin facility will be open 24\/7, while the food outlets will be open daily from 6.00am until 11.00pm, with varying times for each specific food outlet.<\/p>\n

Applegreen opened its first service station in Ballyfermot in Dublin in 1992 and now operates almost 200 locations in the Irish market.<\/p>\n

Applegreen has been rapidly expanding its partnership with M&S Food in recent years and now offers M&S products at 30 of its outlets. It plans to expand the partnership to 60 outlets over the medium term.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s expansion plans are focused on acquiring and developing new sites in the markets in which it already operates, as well as upgrading and rebranding its existing locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Applegreen is creating just over 100 new jobs at the new Dunshaughlin facility, which will also include an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67327,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,10,18,13,14,6,19,17,11,12,11117,15,16,5,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-67326","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-featured-news","12":"tag-featurednews","13":"tag-headlines","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-latest-news","17":"tag-latestnews","18":"tag-louise-hickey","19":"tag-main-news","20":"tag-mainnews","21":"tag-news","22":"tag-top-stories","23":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
