Applegreen is delighted to announce that it is starting construction on a project to develop four new service plazas along the E470 public highway in Denver Colorado. Applegreen will invest $70 million in the new service plazas and will maintain and operate the locations for 50 years as part of the agreement. The four new service plazas are located at former toll plaza sites on the E-470 highway, which is a 47-mile highway around the eastern side of the Denver Metropolitan area. Applegreen and the E470 Public Highway Authority have worked closely over several years to prepare the sites for development. Construction is now beginning and the first service plaza, at Parker Southbound, is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2026. The three other plazas – at Commerce City (Northbound and Southbound) and at Aurora – will be operational shortly afterwards. The new service plazas will feature exciting food and beverage brands, Applegreen’s renowned convenience store offering, Applegreen Electric fast chargers, and fuelling services for the communities in the metropolitan Denver area. The E-470 project demonstrates Applegreen’s commitment to providing world-class facilities to customers and working in partnership with road authorities in the United States. Applegreen service plazas are more than a place to stop for gas and a snack. We believe that they should be an integral part of the communities that they serve. Our vision is driven by a hospitality model that is designed to serve local residents and visitors alike. With two locations in Commerce City serving the traffic going to and from Denver International Airport, these new service plazas will demonstrate the best of Colorado. Applegreen and Shames Construction Company, our local construction partner, are thrilled to have this opportunity to deliver a new world-class roadside hospitality experience for the travelling public in the Denver area. Shames Construction, as the design-builder and contractor, will play a key role in delivering the project efficiently and to a high standard. Their work is essential to making these modern service plazas a reality. #Applegreen #MassDOT #Massachusetts

Happy Fourth! As Americans hit the road this holiday weekend - heading to beaches, mountains, and backyard BBQs - we're proud to play a part in making those journeys smoother, tastier, and more enjoyable. This Independence Day, we’re thrilled to celebrate the near completion of our transformation of all 27 service plazas on the New York State Thruway - including exciting new brands (check some out below!) and amenities our customers love. And the road ahead is just as exciting: we've been awarded the contract to upgrade 18 service plazas in Massachusetts. We can’t wait to bring the same elevated experience to travelers across the Bay State. To everyone traveling: safe journeys and enjoy the ride. To our teams and partners: thank you for helping make it happen. #EnjoyYourJourney https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ef5EMsdn #ShakeShack #Starbucks #Dunkin #PandaExpress #PretaManger #BurgerKing
