Healthy eating restaurant chain Freshii is opening its fifth outlet today, located at Applegreen Motorway Service on the N7 at Rathcoole. The outlet joins those further down the M7 just outside Portlaoise, at Enfield Motorway Services on the M4 westbound, and two at the M1 at Lusk.

“Freshii is delighted to make tasty, convenient and affordable nutritional food available to people on the road through Applegreen Motorway services,” said Dave O’Donoghue, CEO of Freshii Ireland. “More and more people are becoming dashboard diners as they are eating meals on the go so it’s important for them to have healthy options on a journey. We opened our first Freshii in Applegreen Lusk two years year and we are thrilled that it has surpassed everyone’s expectations.”

The company also recently announced plans to become Ireland’s greenest fast food business, introducing a fully compostable range of cutlery, cups and food containers in its Irish restaurants. Compost bins will be provided in every store to allow these items to be disposed of correctly.
