Independent forecourt operator AY & Y Patel Dewsbury has opened two new Spar stores and service stations in West Yorkshire.
It has spent £1.5m developing the Leed’s Road site in Bradford over a seven month period, which now features HGV and retail forecourt facilities.
The on-site store also has a greater focus on food to go, including Fwip gelateria and a Frozen Fanta machine. It offers Clayton Park Bakery, Fazila Food and Dot’s Donuts as well.
There was also a further £500,000 invested into the Roseville Road service station in Leeds, following an eight-month overhaul. It is now operating under the Spar banner and also features a new food to go range, fresh and frozen lines, and a well-stocked car care section.
The growing independent forecourt operator now has four forecourt sites, all supplied by Spar wholesaler James Hall, and has a further two in the pipeline.
“The development of the sites has been a lot of hard work, but they have been worth it, and we are very impressed with the finishing look and feel,” said AY & Y Patel Dewsbury head of operations Shaheena Patel.
“Both service stations will prove excellent options for customers in Bradford and Leeds, and already we are seeing some strong sales results and we have had brilliant feedback from customers.
“Our association with James Hall is fantastic. We have a hand in hand relationship, and we really feel like we are valued by the team there who work together with us to support our business ambitions.”
James Hall sales director Peter Dodding said: “We take great pleasure from supporting ambitious family businesses like AY & Y Patel Dewsbury, and seeing the realisation of that support with two outstanding new service stations is terrific.
“We share a strong relationship with the Patel family and we look forward to helping them to grow their business with further forecourts in the near future.”
