Eddy’s Food Station, the convenience store chain launched by Morning, Noon & Night veteran Stephen Thompson, has opened its third store in Larbert.
The chain launched its inaugural Alloa store in May and its Greenock branch earlier in August.
The Larbert outlet, which has created 15 jobs, is set to see significant renovations in the coming months to transform it into “bright, modern-day convenience store”.
Mike Leonard, Head of Retail at Eddy’s Food Station said: “The quick development of the Eddy’s Food Station group is an indication of how strong the convenience sector is. It’s brilliant to see the beginning of the Eddy’s Food Station journey progress so quickly with many other exciting launches imminent.”
In addition, the chain has revealed that it has selected Costcutter as its main supply partner. Eddy’s Food Station stores will have access to Costcutter’s 14,000-strong range and will be able to stock up to 2,000 Co-op own-brand products.
The stores will also benefit from Costcutter’s loyalty scheme rewards, the Shopper First growth programme, and marketing support alongside additional rebate rewards on qualifying Bestway delivered purchases.
Jamie Davison, Business Development Director at Bestway Retail, said: “We are absolutely delighted that Costcutter will be the main supply partner for the three Eddy’s Food Station stores that have opened in Scotland and we very much looking forward to supplying the further 30 stores that they plan to open over the next five years.”
