Applegreen off to a good start in 2017
Irish fuel retailer Applegreen had a positive start to the 2017 financial year both in terms of trading and the development of the business, said Daniel Kitchen, Chairman, at its AGM in Dublin.
The company has added 16 new sites since the beginning of the year, rebranded many others and has pushed to enter the U.S. market.
In the Republic of Ireland, they have added four new Petrol Filling Stations (PFS), one new service area and five dealer sites. In the UK we have opened three new PFS as well as our latest Motorway Service Area in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
“Our business in Ireland is delivering strong growth in non-fuel sales in particular while fuel margin experience has been in line with 2016. We continue to enjoy good growth in UK food sales as we expand our branded food offering,” said Kitchen.
Applegreen opened two petrol stations in the New England area of the USA and is searching for more opportunities to grow in that region.
