Highland Fuels has revealed plans for its 16th forecourt in Scotland, a former workshop and car dealership in Balfron, around 16 miles north of Glasgow, reports Forecourt Trader.
The Stirlingshire site, which was acquired by the petrol station owner and fuel distributor in October 2022, opened its Morrisons Daily last Thursday (January 30).
Fuel – unleaded 95 petrol and diesel under the Highland Fuels brand – as well as an Electrajet jet wash and vacuum, screenwash, air and fragrance machine – will go live at the redeveloped Buchanan Street site at the end of March.
Pay at pump technology will also be available at Balfron Filling Station giving customers 24-hour access to fuel. And there are 22 car parking spaces, two of which are accessible bays, and with potential to introduce electric vehicle charging in the future “with timing for its introduction dependent on demand”, says Hightland Fuels.
The Inverness-based business, which operates petrol stations from Orkney to Ayrshire, says that the project, is part of a “broader investment programme” into the Highland Fuels’ network to “address the increasing demand for convenience-focused forecourt retailing”, with an expanded grocery and food-to-go offer.
