Applegreen And M&S Food Announce Exclusive Partnership

Applegreen and M&S Food have agreed an exclusive partnership to bring the latter to a number of the former’s locations across Ireland.

According to the roadside retailer, a new ‘shop-in-shop’ will initially be available in five Applegreen locations and feature M&S Food, including fresh fruit, sandwiches, salads, and a selection of other M&S dinner options.

The M&S range will feature alongside Applegreen’s existing product range, the latter added.

Commenting on the partnership, Fiona Matthews, managing director, Applegreen Ireland, said, “As a proud Irish business, we believe this partnership will complement our market-leading offer of choice, quality, value, and a great experience to our customers on the road.

“We are constantly improving, to give our customers more choice and a better customer experience, and this agreement with M&S is part of that evolution.”
