The old McCabe’s garage in Ardee which Maxol hope to move into
Maxol are hoping to open a filling station at the former McCabe’s Toyota garage outside Ardee.
The fuel retailer has applied to Louth County Council for planning permission to redevelop the existing commercial site at the junction of the N2 and R171 Tallanstown Road at The Glebe in Ardee.
They are proposing to alter the existing car showroom and offices including reducing the floor area. As well as incorporating a gym in the basement they hope to modify and reduce the floor area of the Vehicle Test Centre to accommodate alterations for a proposed filling station.
The petrol station would include a shop, café/restaurant and offices and meeting rooms.
As well as the forecourt area, the site would also feature a drive thru car wash, parking, play areas and more.
The company has requested permission to install underground storage tanks, bunkering facilities and a chemical/eslan disposal point as well as altering the access point to the site.
Louth County Council are due to decide on whether or not to allow the proposal to proceed by March 3rd.
Previously Aldi were unsuccessful in their attempts to open up a supermarket in this area.
Maxol are also set to open a new filling station in Dundalk on the Dublin Road, opposite Dundalk IT.
