Ascona Group has announced the launch of a transformative redevelopment programme that will start at an existing forecourt in North Wales. As one of the leading station operators in the United Kingdom, the company is set to develop the next evolution of roadside retail destinations. 

The £3m project involves upgrading the site to include the enlargement of the existing Nisa Retail store in addition to an expanded retail footprint of 3,500 Sq ft and to offer an extended range of products and food-to-go offerings.

The redevelopment will ensure all fuel grades are available at each pump. Following Ascona’s vision to support the next generation of vehicles, the upgraded station will also include infrastructure for electric vehicle charging points, with the final number still subject to the local grid’s capacity.

“As our largest investment in Wales to date, through the upgrade of the site at Machynlleth, we are ensuring that the new site provides our customers and the local community with a high quality roadside retail destination that caters to their specific needs. We continue to explore other redevelopment opportunities across multiple sites in our portfolio, with two major projects planned in Wales for 2023,” said Darren Briggs, CEO of the Ascona Group.

The new forecourt will also feature a car park with a larger capacity, as well as a new roll-over and jet car wash. The redevelopment will create up to 12 new jobs, including eight full time and four part-time roles. The revamped station is expected to reopen to customers in July 2023.
