New Applegreen petrol station to create 150 new jobs in Kildare
Applegreen service station
THE NEW Applegreen service station in Naas is to create 150 new jobs with the opening of a €15 million new EV Hub and roadside service area later this year.
The new Applegreen service area, which will be located close to the Naas Ball at Junction 9 on the M7, is part of a multi-million euro investment that Applegreen is making in its Irish business this year.
The new M7 Naas Ball site will be a state-of-the-art facility that will initially include Popeyes and Taco Bell outlets, M&S Food, Crafted Kitchen & Deli, and an Applegreen forecourt and convenience store.
The Popeyes outlet in Naas will be the first Popeyes Drive-Thru in the Republic of Ireland. An additional Drive-Thru outlet will also open at the new Naas site this winter.
The site will also have eight Applegreen Fast Charge ultra-fast EV chargers with a total of 16 charging points, a separate truck stop for HGV fuelling, and an Applegreen carwash.
Applegreen, which is one of Ireland’s best known retail brands, is currently investing €1 billion to grow its operations in Ireland, the UK and the United States. It is adding new locations in all of its markets through developing and acquiring new sites and it is also continuing to upgrade and improve its existing network.
Naas will be Applegreen’s second major new services area in Ireland in the past 12 months, as it opened a €15 million site at Junction 6 on the M3 in Dunshaughlin last September.
