Applegreen has reopened its Midway service area in Portlaoise, located at exit 17 on the M7, following a €3 million renovation.
Midway will now feature an M&S Food store within the outlet as part of Applegreen’s exclusive partnership with the retailer.
The newly revamped location will also have a new Braeburn Coffee Café, a Bakewell deli, as well as Burger King, Chopstix and Subway restaurants.
Midway now features restaurant-style seating, a newly enhanced public space, upgraded toilet facilities and there are plans to install a new driver exercise zone on the site.
From today, the site will feature the best of M&S Food, including fresh fruit and salads, Irish sandwiches, convenient lunch and dinner options, and a selection of other iconic M&S favourites.
The opening of the new Midway is the seventh M&S Food outlet that Applegreen has opened this year, bringing the total to 13.
This will be the first time that M&S Food products are available in Co. Laois.
In addition to the introduction of M&S Food, Applegreen Midway will provide a fully operational service-station forecourt where customers can relax and refuel.
The €3 million investment underscores the Irish company’s ongoing commitment to providing quality products and services to its customers on the go.
Applegreen will employ a total of 56 staff at Midway.
‘Ongoing Commitment’
Speaking about the redeveloped site, Applegreen Ireland managing director Fiona Matthews said, “We are delighted to reopen our Midway location following a significant investment to enhance the facility’s customer offer.
“The new Midways boasts a wide range of food and drink options for our customers, including the welcome addition of M&S Food offering as part of our successful partnership with M&S.
“The refreshed service area also offers an inclusive space to cater to all customer needs, whether it’s a quick pit-stop to pick up dinner on the journey home, or a relaxing and enjoyable spot for customers to break their journey.
“With brand new state-of-the-art amenities, upgraded parking facilities and a driver exercise zone to come, this €3 million investment highlights Applegreen’s ongoing commitment to provide quality products and services to our customers on the go.
“We look forward to welcoming visitors from all corners of the country as they stop in to take a break and enjoy their journey with us.”
The facility will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
