There is much excitement this week following the announcement that The Two Johnnies will be coming to Portlaoise.

Applegreen is throwing a birthday party like no other this July and they’ve enlisted Ireland’s most mischievous duo, The 2 Johnnies, to lead the celebrations.

Taking place at Applegreen Midway, Junction 17 on the M7 this July 24, the Applegreen Birthday Bash will see Johnny B and Johnny Smacks lead rival teams in a head-to-head battle packed with comedy, craic and chicken fillet rolls!

The pair will team up with locals and go head to head in challenges that promise amazing prizes.

From Karaoke Roulette to the Chicken Fillet Olympics and a custom Mastermind quiz based on their dream prize, four lucky participants will join either Team JohnnyB or Team JohnnySmacks and compete to win their very own ultimate birthday gift or experience – whether that’s a Mediterranean cruise, a Vegas weekend, or something completely unexpected. Applegreen will give those who enter the chance to make that dream come true. 

To be in with a chance, fans simply need to comment their dream birthday celebration on Applegreen’s 24/7 Instagram post using the hashtags #JohnnyB or #JohnnySmacks, and tag @Applegreen.

“24/7 is Applegreen’s chance to celebrate our business and mark our birthday by giving back to our customers nationwide with great deals on our top products in store. We also like to mark the occasion with a bit of signature fun with our ambassadors The 2 Johnnies thrown in," said Seamus Stapleton, Managing Director at Applegreen. 

"We hope our chosen contestants have a ball trying to win their dream birthday gifts at Midway just off of Junction 17 on the M7 – but we also hope the rest of the country stop by to avail of the incredible deals that 24/7 has become famous for."

The event will be judged by a live audience and a panel of influencers, two of which will captain the teams, with The 2 Johnnies at the heart of the action.

24/7 is Applegreen’s annual birthday celebration, where the leading roadside hospitality brand gives back to its loyal customers with a range of great deals on top products in stores nationwide.

For one day only, on July 24th, customers can avail of reduced prices and deals on favourites including 100% Irish Chicken Fillet Rolls or Breakfast Rolls for just €2.47, confectionary chocolate bars for 24c or deals on bags of sweets and jellies, 2 for €2.47.
