About us
About Applegreen: Applegreen is proud to be an Irish company and a true Irish success story. From humble beginnings in 1992, Applegreen started with the opening of our first service station in Ballyfermot, West Dublin. From there, under the stewardship of Chairman Bob Etchingham and CEO Joe Barrett, Applegreen expanded in Ireland, growing year on year. As of April 2022, the business operates 620 forecourt sites and employs circa 15,000 people across Ireland, UK and America. To this day, Applegreen is still under the guardianship of Bob and Joe and supported by our dedicated team in our headquarters in Dublin. Over the last 30 years, our brand reputation and success has been earned through quality retail and value offerings, including our ‘low fuel prices, always’ promise and our 100% traceable and quality assured fuel.

Our Group CEO Joe Barrett was delighted to take part in today’s US Ireland Economic Summit, which featured great insights from Ambassador Claire Cronin, the Taoiseach Simon Harris, and an excellent line up of speakers. Joe was a panellist for a discussion on The Green Transition: Creating a Sustainable Future, which also featured Neil Morris, Irish Country Lead & Operations Director of Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Colin Ryan, Qualcomm’s Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer. Applegreen is a very significant investor and employer in the United States. We have an extensive network of travel plazas and gas filing stations across 10 states in America, which together employ more than 7,000 people.
