Topaz Cashel wins food award

One of Topaz's flagship service stations, the motorway site at Cashel in Co Tipperary has won a major forecourt award for fresh food.

The Cashel site, located at Junction 8 on the M8, beat off stiff competition from 36 other competitors from all over the country to claim the 2012 Checkout Best in Fresh Award for a forecourt store.

The awards are in their seventh year and are hosted by checkout Magazine.

The award ceremony was held recently at the Four Seasons Hotel in Dublin. Andria Brabston and Rory Hyland from Topaz Cashel are pictured with their  award. The Manager at Topaz Cashel is Noel Darcy. Last year Cashel was awarded the NACS International Convenience Retailer of the Year award while earlier this year at the GRAM Awards, Noel won the Forecourt Manager of the Year award.

Services on offer at the site include a hot food buffet and cafe, children's play area, wi-fi internet access, toilets and showers. The site also has a McDonald's restaurant, which is also a first motorway location for that company.
