Franchise pairing is On The Move in East Kilbride
LEADING forecourt operator EG Group has expanded on its franchise agreement with the Co-op through its new East Kilbride store.
Located in the Buchandyke area of East Kilbride, the site is open between 6am-10pm and includes three pump islands for six fuel pumps in total along with air and water.
The Co-op store on site also brings quality food and drink options to the local area, promotions and self service areas including Lavazza coffee, bakery products, hot food, cold drinks and fresh, chilled foods.
Member price savings can also be utilised for Co-op members who can save more via the personalised offers, deals and promotions and lower prices on the product consumers buy the most.
In addition to the East Kilbride store, EG and Co-op has opened a new location in Moston, near Chester, further strengthening its franchise agreement.
Michael Hargraves, head of forecourt franchise at Co-op, said: “We are thrilled to collaborate on the launch of two sites in a week. Both sites are focussed on meeting the fuel and food needs of motorists and those who live in the surrounding area – we are delighted to again partner with EG On The Move on the launch of these latest sites.
“Co-op stores have a focus on being a hub locally, delivering the quality, choice, value and added services which can be enjoyed by everyone, along with contributing to local life.
“We are focused on scaling our franchise business by sharing our convenience expertise with quality partners, and look forward to identifying more locations for joint growth with EG On The Move where we can create further compelling forecourt and convenience food sites together.”
Zubar Issa, chief executive at EG On The Move, said: “We are focused on growing our network and delivering enhanced customer experiences that reflect the fuel and retail needs of those who travel or live nearby. We are delighted to collaborate with Co-op on our latest sites.
