James Hall & Co opens refreshed forecourt

The Spar wholesaler recently bought the site in West Lancashire from Euro Garages UK.

James Hall & Co, Spar’s primary wholesaler and distributor for the north of England, has opened a refreshed Spar store and forecourt in West Lancashire.

The newly revamped eight-pump forecourt on the A5209 between Burscough and Parbold is now Shell branded, and there have also been some new additions to the store. It now features a Cheeky Coffee machine and a greater range of Clayton Park Bakery products.

James Hall & Co recently bought the site from Euro Garages UK. The acquisition takes the number of company-owned Spar stores under James Hall & Co’s ownership to 153, and it is the 42nd forecourt.

Fiona Drummond, Company Stores Director at James Hall & Co, said: “We’ve serviced the Spar store between Burscough and Parbold for many years under its previous ownership, and when the opportunity to acquire it came along, we seized it with both hands.

“It’s an exciting development for us and it offers us the chance to better support people in the locality, while taking advantage of considerable passing trade on a busy route that connects many West Lancashire towns and villages with the M6.”

Drummond added: “The new site is also close by to where things began for James Hall & Co five generations ago with the roots of the family business firmly in West Lancashire.”

Last month James Hall & Co opened a new store and service station on one of Darlington’s busiest main roads. The completely overhauled site features six fuel pumps, a jet wash, air and water machines, an ATM, and customer parking.
