EG On The Move is expanding its partnership with Co-op following a successful trial last year.
The forecourt operator, owned by Zuber Issa, has opened its first roadside service station under the franchise deal since launching seven trial sites last summer, including in Sussex, Buckinghamshire and Scotland.
It is located in Stowmarket, on the A1308 Needham Road, and features products spanning fresh, chilled, fruit & veg, meal deals, ready meals, pizzas and ‘everyday essentials’ supplied by the Co-op.
There is also a self-service Starbucks coffee machine, bakery products, hot food, and car care products available.
On the forecourt, the 24-hour site includes eight petrol pumps, four EV charging points, air and vacuum, and two jet washes which are launching soon.
EG On The Move and Co-op said they shared ambitions to launch further sites later this year.
“As a trusted, quality, convenience retailer our partnership with Co-op aligns with EG On The Move as an acknowledged petrol forecourt and convenience retail destination operator. We are delighted to collaborate on our latest site, and we look forward to growing our relationship with Co-op in the future,” said EG On The Move CEO Issa.
“Our work with Co-op enhances our convenience store offer, ensuring our customers have access to exceptional fuel retail services including EV charging, a wide choice of premium grocery products and essentials, along with an enjoyable foodservice experience.”
Co-op director of partnership development Martin Rogers said: ”We are delighted to be working with EG On The Move on our latest site, developing a compelling forecourt and convenience food offering as our partnership looks to expand.
“We are focused on scaling our franchise business. This is the first site to open together following our successful trial, and we are exploring more locations for joint growth. By combining our membership, convenience knowledge, tailored product ranges, and automated supply with EG On The Move’s fuel and franchise expertise, we will bring the benefits of Co-op to more communities together.”
