Forecourt

FORECOURT RETAILER OF THE YEAR

PREMIER RACETRACK AUTOPORT

Premier RaceTrack Autoport has retained its Forecourt of the Year crown by taking an already awe-inspiring store and making it even more impressive.

The forecourt sector is going through something of a purple patch at the moment with renewed interest in the sector as fuel volumes return and operators get increasingly inventive around their store offering. One operator, however, is setting entirely new standards in forecourt retailing – so much so that she has retained her Forecourt of the Year crown for a second year running. Shamly Sud’s Premier RaceTrack Autoport forecourt in Ibrox was a standout star of the show at last year’s awards and was probably one of the most visited stores in recent times as retailers flocked to Glasgow find out what all the fuss was about.

Over the last 18 months, Shamly has continued to develop and evolve an already awe-inspiring store and has succeeded in creating something even more impressive. The judges commented: “We often overuse phrases like ground-breaking but one visit to any of Shamly’s stores is all you need to see that she and her family have torn up the rulebook and written a new one. Visiting one of her ground-breaking stores is a genuine experience. They are unique in the UK.” Drawing inspiration from study tours to the United States and the Middle East, Shamly has created some of the most immersive shopping experiences it’s possible to find in Scotland. From liquid nitrogen ice cream to Havana cigars, from 60+ flavours of slush to fully chilled beer caves, Premier Racetrack simply elevates local retailing to a new level.
