At the forefront of forecourt retailing
Retail's Best announces exhibitors for 2020.
There are 8,382 fuel forecourt sites in the UK* and more than a third of these will be represented at the next Retail’s Best event on 19 March when around 200 independent retailers and forecourt operators, representing over 3,500 sites between them, gather at Chateau Impney, Worcestershire.
Now in its seventh year, Retail’s Best brings together hundreds of successful independent retailers and motor fuel operators, which include some of the most successful names in the industry. Once again, we will be tackling hot industry topics, sharing views and ideas directly with key suppliers, helping them to better understand retailer’s operational needs.
This year’s Retail’s Best debate will focus on crime prevention and potential security solutions to ensure our businesses are safe for the future. Led by a panel of leading independent forecourt and convenience stores operators and accompanied by industry experts, it’s likely to lead to a lively discussion.
