New Applegreen and Mcdonalds for Naas

pad199207 · 15-03-2015 10:29PM #1

Heard through the grapevine today that the construction adjacent to the Tesco Extra site in Naas is for Applegreen Station and McDonald's Drive Thru.

Can't find anything on the net associated with it though....

check out kildare county council planning area online
go to the map part find the location and click on the planning dots the details are all there.
http://kildare.ie/CountyCouncil/OnlineServices/OnlinePlanningEnquiries/

I find using Internet explorer the best way to look on that site.

I find it awkward to link unfortunately to certain planning applications
and a good few planning applications for that site,
including Tesco looking for planning for a petrol station,
also the guy building the McDonalds, was looking for the adjoining site to build another fast food outlet, so more than likely a KFC.

why? - Tesco normally charge higher prices for fuel than other stations and has a second rate retail offering.

I'm in Killarney regularly - Tesco fuel last Friday was 1.419 for petrol and 1.309 for diesel. 15 minutes away in Killorglin, petrol was 1.379 and diesel 1.239.

No plans to close the one on main street.

Just curious does anyone know when the McDonald's on the Main Street was put in? I was thinking around 1997?

It was June 1998. I remember because I was heavily pregnant at the time

He owns the one in Newbridge as well. Mad to think he started out with a chip van.

Maybe he did, I'm not sure.

McD's opened today. Advertised as 24/7 opening.

gerrowadat · 01-10-2015 05:23PM

I think most of them are, drive thru anyway. The ones in liffey valley and newbridge and lucan are all 24x7

Newbridge isn't open 24 hours.

JeffK88 · 01-10-2015 06:52PM

Newbridge open from 6am-12am. Think they looked for 24hours but due to residential properties nearby it was refused.

With regard to the Applegreen garage, it is proposed to be located where the old concrete pipes factory used to be on the way into Naas from Dublin. According to a local councillor planning is at an advanced stage.

As for a Tesco petrol station no chance. This was stopped by councillor Darren Scully when Tesco applied for planning for the retail complex a couple of years ago, citing traffic issues on the local (Monread) road as the reason apparently.

Anyway just a point of note. The Topaz garage on the Sallins Road accepts the Tesco fuel vouchers.

Marty McFly · 03-10-2015 09:05AM

Are there other plans afoot for in around the new McDonald's? They've certainly laid down more road than needed for the McDonald's making it look they have plans.

Bit of a nightmare at the new McDonalds at the moment

It seems people can't grasp the concept of order food, get number, when number is called collect food

Some young one arguing when 36 was called and she had 60 but 36 had the same thing as she had ordered :rolleyes:

convert · 07-10-2015 11:24AM

I saw the queue for the drivethru on Saturday - it looked a nightmare!

cunnijo · 07-10-2015 11:34AM

I wouldn't like to see it if a second fast food place arrives, as it is reported that KFC may be also going there. It was shown as a potential location on a Channel 4 programme earlier this year.

And you think it's bad now?

Two things I'd imagine will be in play:

1: KFC isn't anywhere near as popular
2: There's always a [pointless] excitement factor about a new drivethrough which will die off

I totally agree. Things will die down once the novelty factor of a new drive thru McDonalds passes. As you say KFC is not as popular but however the madness will return if it too opens (but for a lot shorter time).

Irish syndrome of having no idea has kicked in big time now on that roundabout with people not using correct lanes and having no idea were there indicator I'd :mad:
