Applegreen<\/a> has opened Ireland\u2019s first Taco Bell<\/a> restaurant this week as part of a \u20ac15 million investment in a new motorway service area at Junction 6 on the M3 in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath.<\/p>\n

Applegreen is creating more than 100 new jobs at its new Dunshaughlin facility, which also includes an M&S Food<\/a> shop-in-shop outlet, a new Braeburn Coffee Caf\u00e9, a Burger King<\/a> restaurant, and Crafted, Applegreen\u2019s bespoke new deli offering.<\/p>\n

The motorway service area also has an Applegreen convenience store, a children\u2019s play area, and a service station forecourt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to bring Taco Bell to the Irish market, and to open our newest site in Ireland,\u201d said Seamus Stapleton<\/a>, managing director of Applegreen\u2019s Republic of Ireland business.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Dunshaughlin site sets the standard for roadside hospitality in Ireland, with comfortable bright modern seating areas for customers, and a range of high-quality food options.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new Dunshaughlin motorway service area is part of Applegreen\u2019s \u20ac1 billion plan to expand its business in Ireland, the UK and the United States over the next five years. Applegreen, which typically invests up to \u20ac50 million annually in its Irish business, is also continuing to expand its Braeburn Caf\u00e9 business and its partnership with M&S Food.<\/p>\n

The Dunshaughlin facility is Applegreen\u2019s largest single investment project in Ireland this year. The new service area also features Applegreen\u2019s new Crafted Kitchen & Deli offer, which will feature a range of new products and existing deli favourites, such as chicken fillet rolls and breakfast rolls.<\/p>\n

Applegreen is one of Ireland\u2019s leading retail hospitality brands. It opened its first service station in Ballyfermot in Dublin in 1992 and now operates almost 200 locations in the Irish market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Applegreen has opened Ireland\u2019s first Taco Bell restaurant this week as part of a \u20ac15 million investment in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26686,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43,4860],"class_list":["post-26685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-taco-bell"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
