The accompanying Co-op store will offer a range of products, including self-service Starbucks coffee, everyday essentials, sandwiches, Fairtrade items and car care products.

The service station will soon introduce an online grocery delivery service through Deliveroo, allowing for quick and convenient community deliveries. 

Food service at the site will be complemented by a Sbarro outlet, offering New York-style pizza.  

Co-op partnership development director Martin Rogers said: “We are delighted to be working with EG On The Move, our second forecourt partner, helping us achieve our ambitious plans in this exciting sector. We look forward to further growing our franchise business, working with partners of pedigree to bring Co-op products and membership to more communities, creating more choice and value for our member-owners and customers.”

The Portlethen establishment is part of a broader initiative by Co-op to expand its franchise presence, with seven stores launching across the UK as part of an initial trial with EG On The Move.  

This site is the second to open in Scotland following the Nitshill Services in Glasgow. A third store is scheduled to open in Macmerry.  

Additional locations include Ogden Road in Doncaster and Platts Corner in Billingshurst, Sussex, marking a significant step in Co-op’s franchise growth strategy. 

In July 2024 Co-op announced the launch of three new convenience stores across the UK in an expansion of its retail footprint.
