New Crafted Kitchen and Deli also due to open at the Cork-based forecourt
Print8 December 2025
Applegreen has announced its plans to open a new Taco Bell restaurant at Ballincollig, C0. Cork tomorrow morning at 10am, Tuesday 9 December.
Ballincollig is the third Irish location for Taco Bell, following openings in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath in September, and in Lusk, Co Dublin in November.
The forecourt retailer noted that the arrival of Taco Bell is part of a major refurbishment of Applegreen’s Ballincollig location, as a new M&S Food shop-in-shop outlet and a new Crafted Kitchen & Deli operation are also opening tomorrow.
Commenting on the announcement, Seamus Stapleton, managing director of Applegreen’s Republic of Ireland business, said: “Applegreen’s first two Irish Taco Bell restaurants have been hugely popular with customers, and we are delighted to be further expanding our partnership with this new outlet in Ballincollig.”
Significant investment
The significant refurbishment of the Ballincollig store is part of Applegreen’s investment of more than €50 million in the Irish market this year, the company said.
“We are continually investing to upgrade existing locations and to add new sites to our business in Ireland,” he added.
“By partnering with leading brands such as Taco Bell and Marks & Spencer, as well as enhancing our own brand through our new Crafted Kitchen & Deli, we are offering an even better experience for customers that use our Ballincollig store.”
More outlets due
Applegreen highlighted that it is planning to add further Taco Bell outlets to its Irish portfolio next year as part of its partnership with the US-based company.
Currently the Forecourt retailer operates 35 M&S Food shop-in-shop outlets across its Irish network and has plans to grow this number to more than 60 outlets in the medium term.
The Ballincollig store will also feature a new Click & Collect service for M&S Clothing and selected Home product ranges.
