Newly expanded Maxol Hilden Service Station opens following £1.6m redevelopment

Maxol Hilden has re-opened following an investment of £1.6 million to expand and upgrade the convenience store and forecourt on the Belfast Road in Lisburn.

Customers can now enjoy ‘bags more’ quality, choice, value, and convenience in the newly modernised and expanded store. It features the latest Spar design and offers an improved selection of chilled, frozen, and fresh local produce, making it perfect for a quick top-up shop.

For customers who want to grab & go, the store now features a new Delish on the Go, with a range of freshly cooked food and a large range of freshly prepared sandwiches and wraps throughout the day as well as a Barista Bar, Northern Ireland’s largest coffee brand, for delicious coffee and hot drinks on the go.

Old buildings to the rear of the site have been demolished to create a spacious new area.
