Applegreen will open 20 new M&S Food stores in 2025
The expansion will mean that by year-end, Applegreen will be operating 41 M&S Food stores across the island of Ireland.
Irish service station operator Applegreen will open 20 new M&S Food stores this year, as part of a major expansion with the British retailer.
Applegreen will make a multi-million-euro investment in the further roll out of the M&S Food partnership this year, as each of the 20 new “shop-in-shop” locations will undergo a bespoke upgrade to introduce the M&S brand.
The expansion will mean that by year-end, Applegreen will be operating 41 M&S Food stores across the island of Ireland, with plans to further expand the network to 60 outlets in the medium term.
Each new outlet will feature a range of more than 400 high quality M&S Food products, which will complement the existing Applegreen business and offer customers additional choice and convenience.
The first of the new M&S Food at Applegreen outlets opened in Ennis earlier this month at Applegreen’s Limerick Road location.
“Our partnership with M&S has been working really well over the past two years, and we’re delighted to be bringing M&S Food at Applegreen to 20 additional locations this year,” said Mark Ryan, Head of M&S at Applegreen.
As part of the exclusive partnership agreement, each M&S Food at Applegreen outlet carries an extensive range of M&S products, including ready meal options for lunch and dinner, quality sandwiches, fresh fruit and salads, and fresh flowers. Popular favourites such as Percy Pig sweets, M&S cookies, and Colin the Caterpillar cakes are also available in-store.
Applegreen is one of Ireland’s leading retail hospitality brands. It opened its first service station in Ballyfermot in Dublin 1992 and now operates just over 500 locations at sites in Ireland, the UK and the United States, employing a total of 16,000 people.
