A franchise agreement between the Co-op and EG On The Move will see seven new forecourt sites open across the UK, with three set for Scotland.
The move forms part of Co-op’s wider franchise growth plans as it announces the ambition to have over 500 franchise stores by 2030, with a third of these set to be petrol forecourt stations.
Jermone Saint-Marc, managing director for B2B and growth at Co-op, said: “We are hugely excited to be working with EG On The Move on these new franchise sites and to be able to bring our Co-op Franchise offer to more locations.
“This is part of our broader expansion in the petrol forecourt market. It follows our strategy to pivot our growth in this market through franchise, growing our presence and enabling us to best utilise our experience and offer in convenience.”
