The Maxol Group has been given the green light to purchase three new sites in Dublin.

The group will take over Spawell Auto in Templeogue, Coolquay service station in Dublin 11 and Crosslands service station in Clondalkin, all of which are currently owned by Johnny and Susan Brady and supplied by Maxol under a fuel wholesale agreement.

The latest acquisitions are part of a five-year €175m investment strategy and will extend Maxol's nationwide network of sites across the country to 248.

The three sites will undergo a €1 million retrofitting, and existing staff will have the option to remain at their respective sites.

In 2024, Maxol bought eight forecourt sites and carried out 14 site redevelopments. Earlier this year, the group announced the acquisition of Glynn's Service Station in Co Galway.

“These are excellent sites that have been operated to the highest of standards and in the coming months we will be further investing by bringing our latest innovative retail and forecourt model to each location, building on the already extensive range of eat-in and food-to-go options,” said Brian Donaldson, chief executive of Maxol.

“Today, more than 40 per cent of Maxol’s gross profit is generated from non-fuel services. Convenience retail, food offerings, car wash facilities, and new mobility solutions have become key drivers of our business growth.

"Our strategy focuses on investing in high-potential sites that reflect the changing demands of our customers who visit their local Maxol not just for fuel, but for quality food, everyday essentials and a growing suite of products and services.

"It is our goal to have all three sites transferred and operating under the Maxol model by the end of the summer.”
