Maxol has been cleared by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) for the acquisition of three service stations located on the Naas Road, Kill, Co.Kildare; Greenhills Road, Greenhills, Dublin 12 and the junction of the Naas Road and the Long Mile Road, Walkinstown, Dublin 12, all of which were formerly owned by Esso.

The latest additions to the Maxol network will see the company grow to 230 service stations across the country, with 7 new sites in Leinster alone this year, as part of a significant expansion plan.

Commenting on this latest achievement for Maxol, Brian Donaldson, the incoming Group Chief Executive said:

“This year is particularly exciting for Maxol as the success of our expansion strategy is evident in our multiple site openings of late and those in the pipeline. We are delighted to now add these three quality Leinster locations to our growing service station network from 1^st July.

“We have been keen to strengthen our presence in  Leinster and these three stations will allow Maxol to serve a great many new customers in Ireland’s most densely populated region. It also complements the other four locations that we’ve recently been developing. We opened a new outlet in Dundalk in October last year and opened our largest station to date in North Dublin near Mulhuddart in April, a true milestone for us. In recent weeks we opened Maxol Donabate and we’ve also started construction on another 2 acre site in Ballycoolin, Dublin, which will be completed by the end of the year. 

“The future for Maxol represents even more exciting developments and investment right across the country as we continue with our innovative approach to forecourt convenience retailing.“We look forward to making further announcements on our plans for these three new Leinster sites in the very near future.”
