Trivia and History
The facilities were provided within a small forecourt shop, sometimes called 'Tootenhill services'. It had a Wimpy branch, which became Burger King.
Applegreen demolished the neighbouring Tooten Hill House and its outbuildings in 2018, opening a much larger sales building in its place, with three food units inside. The old building was demolished and used to create a larger parking area.
The new food units were branded Burger King, Chopstix Noodle Bar, The Bakewell and Freshii. Freshii became Bueno in around 2020. The takeaway coffee stand took on Braeburn branding in 2022.
Following the partnership between Applegreen and M&S Food, their range was added to the shop in March 2024, with Bueno removed. The Braeburn Coffee stand was accompanied by a full drive thru and 24 hour café, which opened on 17 April 2024, built on the remaining plot of land with its own car park and six charging points. A launch event was broadcast on Radio Nova on 4 May and 18 May.
The forecourt won the title 'Best Foodvenience Store in the World' in the global Insight Research and Global Convenience Store Focus competition. It was praised for its high-quality customer experience and effective operations.
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, but in 2016 a number of drawings were produced by Applegreen showing how the access to the service area could be significantly upgraded, if needed.
