A new €15 million Applegreen roadside service area at the Naas Ball on the M7 will officially open next Tuesday, with a host of free food and prizes on offer to early customers.
The new facility at Junction 9 will open at 9.30am creating approximately 150 new jobs in the Kildare town.
The state-of-the-art service area will include Popeyes, Taco Bell, M&S Food, Crafted Kitchen & Deli, Braeburn Coffee and an Applegreen forecourt and convenience store.
The Naas Popeyes will be the first Popeyes drive-thru in the Republic of Ireland, while Applegreen says another drive-thru brand will be added in the coming months.
Opening-day offers include:

Popeyes will also have a brass band performing during the morning, followed by a DJ in the afternoon.
The new site will feature eight Applegreen Fast Charge ultra-fast EV chargers, providing 16 charging points, as well as a separate HGV truck stop.
Applegreen Republic of Ireland managing director Seamus Stapleton said the company was “delighted” to open the new Naas service area and looked forward to welcoming customers.
The Naas development follows Applegreen’s €15 million service area at Junction 6 on the M3 in Dunshaughlin, which opened last September.
