Motor Fuel Group (MFG) has published an update following its acquisition of 337 Morrisons forecourts and more than 400 sites across the UK for ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging.
The company announced an initial investment of £40 million into the acquired sites between May and October 2024. MFG aims to upgrade sites across the network, aligning them with its existing stations, which includes increasing the range of products and refitting the stores with new equipment.
This expansion encompasses providing improved food-to-go offerings for customers and creating a truly convenience led retail offering. Plans include increased opening hours, alcohol licenses where appropriate, and the provision of other services such as the National Lottery.
The first five sites have been proposed, with work commencing at the start of May 2024. MFG expects to refurbish 15 locations per week until the end of October.
This is only the start of the company{s investment in the customer experience, ahead of the full-scale redevelopment of the Morrisons portfolio.
MFG is committed to its investment strategy, redeveloping at least the first 100 Morrisons sites in the first five years providing convenience retail, valeting and EV charging to meet the energy transition.
