The Applegreen in Tipperary town has reopened with a new M&S Food 'shop-in-shop' outlet following a significant redevelopment.

The Davitt Street store is the 25th Applegreen location to feature the M&S Food section and follows the opening of Applegreen Birdhill with the M&S Food range last year.

A further 16 Applegreen stores are set to introduce the M&S Food offering by the end of the year as part of the service station chain's partnership with the UK retailer.

Applegreen has plans to further expand its M&S Food network to 60 stores over the medium term.

More than 400 M&S products will be available in store, including fresh food and salads, convenient lunch and dinner options, and fresh flowers as well as favourites like Colin The Caterpillar cake and Percy Pigs.

Applegreen Tipperary Town will also feature a new Click & Collect service for M&S Clothing & Home product ranges, which shoppers can purchase online and collect at the outlet.

 “The milestone achievement of 25 M&S Food at Applegreen stores is a testament to the success of this partnership and we are delighted to reach this point in our expansion," said Mark Ryan, head of M&S at Applegreen.

“The rollout of M&S Food across Applegreen stores nationwide since November 2023 has been incredibly well-received by each store’s local community and has brought more choice and convenience to our customers.

“Ensuring we bring the best experience for our customers is a key focus for Applegreen and we look forward to expanding this partnership across a further 16 Applegreens nationwide this year.”
