The N7 has many signposted local facilities, but two petrol stations have survived upgrades to be signposted as 'services' (albeit on Irish brown signs). This is one of them - recently rebuilt to offer more facilities.

Trivia and History

Applegreen.
The old sales shop, pictured in 2017.

The facilities were provided within a small forecourt shop, sometimes called 'Tootenhill services'. It had a Wimpy branch, which became Burger King.

In 2018 a new, much larger building was built in place of a neighbouring house and industrial unit, which Applegreen purchased and demolished. The old building was demolished and used to create a larger parking area.

Following the partnership between Applegreen and M&S Food, their range was added to the shop in March 2024. The Braeburn Coffee unit was converted into a drive thru, which opened on 17 April 2024.

Wider Context

In addition to the main service area, there is a Circle K garage just before here, also called Rathcoole, is signposted as a local petrol station, but not a full service area.

A 2014 study by the National Roads Authority noted that the N7 here would eventually be upgraded to become a motorway, and that this work should include a full service area "around Rathcoole or Naas North". It's not clear if reusing the existing facilities would be considered.
