This comes after MFG's acquisition of 337 Morrisons petrol forecourts and more than 400 sites across the UK for ultra-rapid EV charging in April 2024. Morrisons is the UK’s 4th largest supermarket chain.
The first phase of upgrades has seen the 337 forecourts undergo redevelopment, including increased convenience and food-to-go offerings, as well as upgrades to forecourt infrastructure. The Morrisons brand has been retained at the sites, allowing customers to continue purchasing product ranges previously sold.
MFG has plans for further investment, targeting the installation of 800 ultra-rapid 150kW EV chargers within the first five years. This will position the company as one of the largest and most significant ultra-rapid EV charge point operators in the UK. Additionally, MFG aims to become the number two convenience store operator in the UK through continued expansion of its retail offerings.
William Bannister, CEO of MFG, expressed satisfaction in completing the initial investment on time and with minimal disruption. “We are now looking ahead to the next phase of our investment into the Morrisons forecourts, which will focus on further upgrades across the sites, as well as the implementation of our EV charging strategy,” he said.
