Maxol invests over €1 Million in Five New Stores  

Leading family owned forecourt convenience retailer Maxol has announced a €1,100,000 investment in five stores located at Mitchelstown and Tivoli in Cork, Ardcavan in Wexford, Tipperary and Portarlington, taking place from May to August of this year. 

Each store will be remodelled to the newly designed format from Maxol and Mace and will feature a Moreish café/deli, Maxol’s own fresh food brand.  The new store format presents customers with a bright, contemporary and comfortable environment for convenience and fresh food shopping or relaxing in the café.  The completion of the stores in the coming months will bring the total of Moreish cafes to 22 in the Maxol network.

Commenting on the considerable store investment, Brian Donaldson, Group General Manager, The Maxol Group said,

“We are investing to improve our customers’ experience and since 2012, we have given 185 Maxol service stations a new look & makeover and constructed 21 new ones with more in the pipeline.  Today’s consumers have unprecedented choice and we are positioning Maxol to meet their needs through the provision of exceptional facilities, standards, customer service and value for money on our forecourts, in our stores and in our Moreish cafes.  By doing this we hope to continue our business growth and to develop long lasting relationships with our customers all across Ireland”. 

Moreish offers an extensive hot and cold deli menu for all times of the day, an exclusive range of speciality sandwiches, low calorie salads and healthy treats and both barista and self-serve coffee and speciality teas.  Internal hi-spec washrooms with baby changing facilities will be added along with complimentary Wi-Fi and the ambience enhanced by Maxol radio.

Maxol has been investing heavily in Ireland and the company now has a network of over 232 stations, 102 of which are company owned. For further information on Maxol and Moreish, visit www.maxol.ie.
