MFG completes initial £40 million Morrisons investment
A total of 337 locations have been enhanced with broader foodvenience options, forecourt infrastructure and EV charging.
Motor Fuel Group (MFG) has completed its initial £40 million upgrade of Morrisons forecourts, following its acquisition of 337 petrol stations and over 400 ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging sites.
The initial investment involved enhancing 337 forecourts during the first phase. Key upgrades include a broader selection of convenience and food-to-go options, as well as improvements to the forecourt infrastructure to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
The Morrisons brand has been retained at these sites, allowing customers to continue purchasing the product ranges previously offered.
“We aim to become a hub within our communities, providing reliable service and a wide range of retail products. We are now looking ahead to the next phase of our investment into the Morrisons forecourts, which will focus on further upgrades and the implementation of our EV charging strategy,” said William Bannister, CEO of MFG.
Future plans include a full-scale redevelopment of the Morrisons portfolio, featuring valeting centers and the installation of ultra-rapid EV charging hubs.
MFG’s next stage of investment will focus on adding valeting services and establishing ultra-rapid EV charging infrastructure to better serve customers. The company aims to install 800 ultra-rapid 150kW EV chargers within the first five years, as part of its broader commitment to invest approximately £400 million in ultra-rapid EV chargers by 2030.
