Published on: Dec 8, 2023
The inauguration is part of a £2.35million investment to transform the company’s Braid River service station.
Maxol has completed the transformation of its Braid River service station, located in central Ballymena, following an investment of £2.35 million.
The investment is part of a wider five-year £84M capital investment programme across The Maxol Group to create a network of convenience-led forecourt services. These are set to offer customers quality, value and choice on everything from fresh coffee and groceries to food-to-go on their doorstep.
A new Ultra Rapid EV Charging Hub - the second to be developed by Maxol and the second of its kind in Northern Ireland – has opened. The facility features four high-powered 200kw ultra-rapid chargers powered by renewable electricity, as part of the company’s sustainability strategy.
"This is our second EV Charging Hub designed to offer the latest technology and fastest speed of charging available for our customers along with the continued rollout of our sustainable forecourt design. This investment reenforces our continued commitment to being a more sustainable forecourt convenience retailer offering the highest quality of facilities and products," said Brian Donaldson, Chief Executive Officer of The Maxol Group.
In addition, the redeveloped site offers the latest Spar concept with a new store of 246 sq. meters. Customers can now shop for everyday grocery essentials including a greater choice of fresh, locally sourced fruit & vegetables, a wide range of dairy and chilled produce and a huge selection of frozen foods.
Two self-checkouts have also been installed to give customers even more choice, efficiency and convenience. Non-food items available include a comprehensive range of Maxol own-brand engine oil, adblue and car care products.
