Eddy’s Food Station launches store number three
The new convenience chain also reveals it has selected Costcutter as its main supply partner.
The Eddy’s Food Station convenience store chain has opened its third store in Larbert, after launching its inaugural Alloa store in May and a Greenock branch earlier in August.
The Larbert outlet, which has created 15 jobs, is set to see significant renovations in the coming months to transform it into “bright, modern-day convenience store”. The renovation will also see a food-to-go offering introduced.
Stephen Thompson, chief executive at Eddy’s Food Station, said: “When we launched in May we stated we planned to open 30 stores within five years. With two additional stores already added to the roster and more in the pipeline, we are very much on track to meet that target.”
Mike Leonard, Head of Retail at Eddy’s Food Station, added: “The quick development of the Eddy’s Food Station group is an indication of how strong the convenience sector is. It’s brilliant to see the beginning of the Eddy’s Food Station journey progress so quickly with many other exciting launches imminent.”
In addition, the chain has revealed that it has selected Costcutter as its main supply partner. Eddy’s Food Station stores will have access to Costcutter’s 14,000-strong range and will be able to stock up to 2,000 Co-op own-brand products.
The stores will also benefit from Costcutter’s loyalty scheme rewards, the Shopper First growth programme, and marketing support alongside additional rebate rewards on qualifying Bestway delivered purchases.
