BP opens new retail stores in North Yorkshire and West Sussex

On this episode of Talking Shop, we are joined by Sammy Allanson, Client Partner Lead for the North of England at business change and transformation specialist Sullivan & Stanley. We break down why the North is one of the UK’s most critical retail growth engines - and why conquering it requires deep local credibility rather than superficial corporate visibility exercises.

BP has opened two new retail stores in Norton-on-Derwent, North Yorkshire, and in the village of Faygate in West Sussex, creating just under 50 new jobs across the two areas. 

The Norton-on-Derwent store, which opened on 18 October, will serve drivers travelling between the towns of Malton and Norton-on-Derwent, around 40 minutes northeast of York. 

Meanwhile, the Faygate store, which opened on 25 October, will serve the community of Faygate, which did not previously have a local forecourt. It will also serve residents in the nearby towns of Crawley and Horsham, and commuters travelling into Surrey and south London along the Crawley Road.

Both new retail stores feature an M&S Food offer that provides a wide range of food and drinks, as well as tasty treats like Percy Pigs, alongside a range of snacks, drinks and confectionery. They also have BP’s Wild Bean Cafe, offering barista-made hot drinks, and popular snacks such as sausage rolls and bacon baps. 

Customers who are members of the BPme Rewards loyalty programme can also access exclusive discounts on products across the M&S Food and Wild Bean Cafe range when they scan their BPme card or app for purchases in store.

Sonya Adams, VP of mobility and convenience retail UK at BP, said: “We’re delighted to open our new retail stores in Norton-on-Derwent and Faygate – our fantastic in-store teams are already welcoming happy customers through the doors. 

“We’re expanding our mobility and convenience network across the UK, from new retail stores with a great grocery and food service offer like these, to hundreds of new dedicated bp pulse EV charging hubs this decade. It’s all part of giving our customers what they want, when and where they want it.”
