OVER 80 jobs will be created in Limerick as part of a €10m investment into a new roadside service area.

Applegreen has officially opened its door to customers at a new location at the Clondrinagh Roundabout in Limerick, bringing over 80 new jobs to the local area, as part of an investment of €10 million.

The service station will operate on a 24/7 basis, with the onsite restaurants open between 11am and 11pm.

The new location will provide a fully operational service-station forecourt and bring several brands to Clondrinagh, including M&S Food, Braeburn Coffee, Subway, and a Bakewell deli.

There will also be a children’s play area. It will also boast a stand-alone Burger King Drive Thru and a Subway restaurant.

Applegreen Ireland Managing Director Fiona Matthews said the opening is a landmark occasion by creating over 80 new jobs.
