Convenience store and newsagent group McColl‘s confirmed its intention to float on the London Stock Exchange this morning.

The group, which operates 1,276 stores across the UK, expects the initial public offering (IPO) to be completed by the end of February. The news follows as retailers Poundland, Pets at Home and Fat Face are considering floats.

McColl‘s said it wants to raise £50m through the IPO which will be used to reduce its level of debt. It will also comprise a partial sale of its existing holding of Shares by Cavendish Square Partners.

The announcement comes as McColl‘s posted a 2.2 per cent year-on-year sales rise to £869.4m as profit rose to £211m.

Numis is acting as sponsor, financial adviser and bookrunner and Livingstone Partners is acting as financial adviser.

The UK convenience sector is forecast to grow from £35.6bn in 2013 to £46.2bn in 2018, faster than the overall growth of the UK grocery market.

Palmer’s may be one of the most familiar names on the bathroom shelf, but behind the cocoa butter bottles is a surprisingly small UK operation. ET Browne UK, which distributes the American family-owned skincare brand, has grown its sales while keeping its core team to fewer than 20 people. Now, as a new Tahitian Vanilla range brings younger shoppers to the brand and the company looks to expand further into Europe, the pressure is falling on the supply chain to keep up.
