Under an exclusive partnership with M&S Food, the new stores at Applegreen service areas will stock a range of more than 450 M&S products
The opening date has been confirmed for a brand new M&S Food store, which is currently under construction at the M1 Applegreen near Lisburn.
The expansion will see Applegreen’s new M&S Food store at the Lisburn Southbound service area on the M1, which will be ready to open to the public on September 30.
This store follows the launch of the first M&S Food store at Applegreen’s service area on the M2 Templepatrick, which opened last year. The two stores are Applegreen’s first M&S Food stores in Northern Ireland, following a highly successful roll out of the concept in the Republic of Ireland.
