Park Garages, long recognised as a force in the UK forecourt and convenience sector, has announced a new long-term supply agreement with Co-op Wholesale.
Ranked firmly among the UK’s top 10 independent forecourt retailers, Park Garages continues to invest in its estate and customer offer.
The new partnership brings together Park Garages’ extensive national portfolio with Co-op Wholesale’s established convenience proposition, supporting plans to set a new benchmark in roadside retail by delivering greater value, quality and choice for customers.
To kick off their partnership, Park Garages opened one of its leading forecourt ‘Thieves Lane’ in Shrewsbury. The 2750 sq ft forecourt has been fully refurbished featuring a full chilled supply including food for now, food-to-go, alongside Co-op own brand staples.
Boldly displaying Proud to Stock from Co-op, the revamped forecourt will also be partnering with Co-op Wholesale’s charity partner Making a Difference Locally (MADL), to make a real difference in the communities they serve.
Following this launch, the rollout of 80 sites will commence over the course of the year.
Ian Cawley at Park Garages, said: “Co‑op’s own-brand product range is a powerhouse and it gives us the strength to win where it matters most.
"Co-op Wholesale understands the dynamics of forecourt retail and how to deliver against each shopper mission with precision. And by tapping into that expertise, this partnership positions Park Garages to not just serve missions, but to win them consistently and set a new standard for convenience.”
Co-op Wholesale MD Katie Secretan, said, “Our collaboration with Park Garages is a powerful demonstration of how wholesale innovation can transform the forecourt convenience landscape.
"By combining Co‑op’s trusted products with Park’s market-leading presence, we’re not just unlocking new possibilities for customers, we’re working alongside a true sector leader to redefine what success looks like in forecourt retail.”
Park Garage Group is ranked among the UK’s Top 10 independent forecourt retailers in the Forecourt Trader “Top 50 Indies” list.
Under the agreement, Park Garages will integrate Co‑op’s trusted wholesale supply chain across its nationwide network of 80 forecourt convenience, bringing the Co‑op’s renowned product range, ethical sourcing standards, and customer‑first approach directly to motorists and local communities.
