Booker Retail Partners (BRP) has clinched a new shop supply agreement with forecourt operator, Motor Fuel Group (MFG), which will begin 1 July.
Some 300 of MFG’s 374 station network will start to be supplied by BRP from this date and, at the same time; a major rebranding programme will commence introducing both the Londis and Budgens brands to the network.
Jeremy Clarke, MFG's chief operating officer, said, “After many months of trials and negotiations, we are delighted to be now working with the team at BRP. We believe that they can help us to develop our rapidly growing business model and also provide a rewarding offering for our contract managers and customers.'
Clarke continued, “This supply change will not affect our ongoing pilot with Morrisons which has recently been expanded.
“Costcutter will continue to be an important supplier to our business as we diversify our brands to meet customer expectations and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support in helping us build and develop our existing forecourt shop offer over the last four years.”
Steve Fox, managing director of Booker Group - Retail, said, “It is a privilege to serve the Motor Fuel Group. This new agreement is a fantastic opportunity for Booker Retail Partners to work in partnership with MFG and their contract managers to help grow and develop their business. We are delighted that the stores are joining Londis and Budgens brands and I am looking forward to serving them from July.”
