Arrangement sees more than 400 M&S Food products come to roadside locations
Irish roadside hospitality brand Applegreen will open 20 new M&S Food stores this year as part of a major expansion of its partnership with the retailer.
Applegreen will make a multi-million-euro investment in the further rollout of the M&S Food partnership, with each of the 20 new “shop-in-shop” locations undergoing a bespoke upgrade to introduce the M&S brand.
The expansion will mean that by the 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 M&S Food products, which the group said 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.
As part of the partnership agreement, each M&S Food at Applegreen outlet will carry an extensive range of M&S products, including ready meal options for lunch and dinner, sandwiches, fresh fruit and salads, and fresh flowers.
