EG On the Move has opened a new roadside service station and convenience store in Stowmarket in partnership with Co-op, marking the first launch since a trial of joint sites began last summer.
Located on the A1308 Needham Road, EG On the Move Stowmarket combines a 24-hour forecourt with a Co-op franchise convenience store, as the two retailers gear up to expand their partnership with more locations later this year.
The site features four ultra-rapid EV charging points, eight fuel pumps offering standard and hyperform unleaded and diesel, air and vacuum services, and two jet washes launching soon.
Co-op’s 24-hour store on site offers fresh and chilled food, hot food-to-go, bakery goods, everyday essentials, car care products and a self-service Starbucks machine. Meal deals and promotional offers are also available, alongside freshly prepared sandwiches, ready meals and pizzas.
Foodservice at the site also includes a Delice De France outlet, open daily from 6am to 2pm.
