The move is part of a €6m investment.
Applegreen is to create up to 450 new jobs as it prepares to open Popeyes chicken restaurants at its roadside locations.
The first outlet will open on the M7 at Portlaoise in the next few weeks as part of a €6m investment.
The first Popeyes restaurant in Ireland opened in Blanchardstown in Dublin last week, with a second planned for Liffey Valley Shopping Centre.
Seamus Stapleton, Managing Director of Applegreen’s Republic of Ireland business says:
“We are delighted to add Popeyes to our growing portfolio of high-quality brands in the Irish market"
“At Applegreen, we’re committed to raising the bar for roadside hospitality and offering great food and world‑class service to people on the move. Popeyes is a fantastic addition to the Applegreen offer and we can’t wait to open our first Popeyes outlet at Midway later this summer.”
While Popeyes UK and Ireland Chief Development Officer, Tom Byng, says:
“We’re thrilled to be working with Applegreen as we roll out new restaurants across the Republic of Ireland. The partnership will allow us to reach more consumers on the move and marks an exciting milestone in our journey to bring our much-loved shatter crunchin’ chicken to Irish customers, with our first Irish restaurant in Blanchardstown now open.”
