As part of Ireland's new-found desire for new motorway services in 2007, a site was planned at Athlone. A new junction was built to accommodate it in 2015 but remains fenced off.
Topaz won the contract to operate it as their offer scored 7% better than SuperStop's (Applegreen). SuperStop argued that this fell down to a difference in how the footpaths should be surfaced which hadn't been accounted for, and their objection prevented work from progressing any further
The planned amenity building has three entrances, serving the forecourt, car park and picnic area. It is now expected to open in June 2019.
