UK: TG Convenience Stores updates sites to Jet supply

Graham Peacock’s company TG Convenience Stores has switched two of its sites to the Jet brand in a deal with Phillips 66.

Phillips 66, trading as Jet, will supply two recently acquired fuel stations in Gateshead, in the North East of England. The sites are closely located to each other at Felling and Sunderland Road forecourts, reports Forecourt Trader.

The two locations were purchased from MFG by Graham Peacock´s TG Convenience Stores in April 2019, who chose Jet as the company’s preferred supplier for the fuel stations.

Both sites will display Jet’s recent pilot for its new image and and will be re-badged in Jet’s new forecourt design, incorporating design improvements. Sunderland Road has also introduced Jet Ultra, Jet’s new range of premium fuels, and features the ultramarine blue Jet Ultra branding and pole sign displaying all four fuel grades.

“Jet was the obvious choice of fuel supplier for these two new sites in our network due to their strong regional brand and competitive supply terms. The sites are quite different – Felling is situated on the Felling bypass and attracts a lot of transitory customers, whereas Sunderland Road is much more of a community site as it’s surrounded by housing and local businesses, but we’re confident that the Jet brand is the right choice for both sites. Jet’s new image and colour scheme will help to attract forecourt footfall”, commented Graham Peacock.

“We’re delighted that Graham has chosen to switch these two sites across to Jet from their previous suppliers. Our new image looks fantastic on both sites, and I’m sure will be very well received by customers,” added Graham Clout, UK retail sales manager at Jet.

Through a number of acquisitions Graham Peacock, who jointly founded and built MRH into the largest independent forecourt operator in the UK before it was taken over by MFG, has grown TG Convenience Stores into the top 10 in the most recent Forecourt Trader Top 50 Indies.
