Judges Comments
Scotland up to 4mlpa – Ascona Springfield Road, Aberdeen
"This site in a smart Aberdeen suburb is exactly what a local convenience outlet should be, offering everything from ready meals to children’s toys and greetings cards, a strong fresh produce range, a UPS parcel service, and an array of food to go.
"Reopened by Ascona in 2022 after a period of being vacant, the business is clearly popular with locals. Although the forecourt itself is small, the pumps were busy when our judge visited, and, for those not filling up, there is additional parking next door."
West Country and Wales up to 4mlpa – Ascona Machynlleth, Powys
"After a £3 million reconstruction last year, Ascona Machynlleth has established itself as a community champion that also caters for the many tourists who visit this stunning part of west Wales every summer. The Texaco site includes an eye-catching Nisa Local store with a Starbucks concession and seating area with phone charging.
"There is also a UPS parcel service. Community and environmental initiatives include providing unsold food to food banks or discounting it via the Too Good to Go app, as well as funding the town’s Christmas lights."
Katie Secretan, Nisa’s Director of Sales & Retail, praised Ascona’s achievements, saying: “Both of these awards reflect the high standards of service, innovation, and customer care that Ascona consistently delivers across its sites.
"The recognition for both Machynlleth and Springfield Road underlines Ascona’s dedication to excellence in every aspect of forecourt retailing.”
