Topaz plans to launch its Re.Store convenience concept across 150 stores, offering a range of healthy food and barista coffee to go, following a €25m investment.
Topaz identified a desire amongst its Irish customers for fresh, healthy options when on the move; Re.Store is designed to both meet and exceed this need with a menu offering a range of salads, wraps and specialty drinks.
Topaz says the concept is “a completely new and innovative approach to forecourt convenience retailing and will revolutionise the standards, quality and the overall customer experience of forecourt dining”.
Speaking at the launch, Emmet O’Neill, CEO of Topaz explained, “At Topaz, we are not interested in minor tweaks, we wanted to completely redefine our Food & Coffee offer that was in keeping with the changing habits and desires of our 2m weekly customers. This will fundamentally alter the way that people think about service stations.”
Re.Store has already launched in over 26 Topaz company-owned sites so far with this number set to swell to 150 branches before the end of 2015.
