About the Company

Applegreen is a prominent Irish forecourt retailer, established in 1992, with its first service station in Ballyfermot, West Dublin. The company has expanded internationally, employing around 15,000 people across Ireland, the UK, and the US. Originally named Petrogas, it rebranded to Applegreen in 2005/2006 to align with changing fuel regulations and consumer preferences for convenient food options. Applegreen offers a range of services, including competitive fuel retail with a commitment to quality-assured fuels. The company features its own brand of premium hot beverages, snacks, and meals, and partners with well-known brands like Burger King and Subway, especially in the US. Its locations also include convenience stores that provide everyday essentials. Applegreen has a strong presence in Ireland, has expanded in the UK through acquisitions, and entered the US market in 2014, operating numerous sites in collaboration with major fuel brands. The company focuses on food-led growth and sustainability, adapting to regional market demands through local partnerships.
