Huge Boost to Local Economy with Creation of 50 Jobs at Flagship Site

Leading forecourt convenience retailer, Maxol, has announced plans to open the company’s largest service station to date, on the N3 at Mulhuddart, located North West of Dublin City. This historic move will create the company’s biggest service station footprint in Ireland and will lead to the creation of 50 new jobs, in a welcome boost to the local economy.

Prominently located on the N3 primary route, the futuristic service station boasts 2.5 acres and will provide much needed services to the local community in the Blanchardstown area and commuters using one of Ireland’s busiest  motorways. The development of the new flagship site represents a significant investment of over €4 million by Maxol.

Mulhuddart is the biggest development project embarked upon by Maxol since the company’s foundation in 1920, and will use leading technologies including the latest environmentially friendly and energy efficient equipment and design, in an effort to reduce the company’s carbon footprint.

As well as offering a typically comfortable and convenient destination for commuters or locals on the go, the development will feature Maxol’s latest building design offering a much brighter feel due to its abundance of glazing and open-plan arrangement with ample seating. 

The multi-level building will also see the introduction of a number of new franchises to widen its choice of food offerings, which are expected to be announced in the coming months, as well as a brand new off-licence, while retaining the latest Maxol Mace convenience store, a brand new Moreish ‘Fresh Food’ café and large open-plan relaxation & Wi-Fi areas together with a children’s play area. In addition to an extremely spacious forecourt, the site will offer a separate truck fuelling facility and extra car and coach parking.

Commenting on this significant milestone, Brian Donaldson, Group General Manager, The Maxol Group said, “We are extremely proud to announce this significant advancement for Maxol and look forward to opening the doors at this state of the art Mulhuddart site in January 2016. The creation of 50 new permanent jobs including retail supervisors, shop sales assistants and deli sales positions will be of huge benefit to the area and overall economy.

“We have always strived to deliver the very best in quality fuel for our customers, and continue to do so through our ‘Fuels You Can Trust’ initiative. But changing consumer demands mean it is no longer only about the provision of quality fuel, it is about the full forecourt service and convenience offering. Maxol Mulhuddart will be a full destination site and we are in discussions with a number of potential partner franchises to further enhance this.

“We are also looking for an independent retailer to operate the new station under licence, which is an exciting opportunity for someone who is eager to operate a multi-million Euro business.”

The new service station is being developed by Weslin Construction.
