Booker will be the exclusive Symbol Group Partner at the next instalment of Retail’s Best Roadside Retail Partners on 15 May 2025.
At Booker, the UK’s leading food and drink wholesaler, we are proud to support over 2,500 forecourt retailers nationwide - from independent single-site operators to large-scale national accounts. Our commitment to providing exceptional Choice, Price and Service remains at the heart of everything we do, and we’re thrilled to stand as a key partner of this year’s event.
As the retail landscape continues to evolve, we understand the pressures and challenges forecourt retailers face - from changing consumer habits to supply chain complexity and rising operational costs. That’s why we’re not just a supplier - we’re a partner. We’re here to help retailers navigate these challenges with practical advice, peer support groups, and shared best practices that make a real difference.
This event provides an opportunity to celebrate the success of the sector, share knowledge and work together to continue raising the bar for forecourt retail. We’re excited to connect with even more retailers and explore how we can keep delivering the right solutions to help grow their businesses.
At this year’s event, we’re also excited to focus on Scoot – Booker’s rapid grocery platform designed to help retailers connect with more customers and increase sales. Scoot enables home delivery, with low commission, full support and a simple setup. It’s another way we’re helping forecourts grow and stay competitive in today’s fast-paced retail environment.
Stewart Fenn, Retail Sales Director at Booker said: “We recognise the incredible resilience and innovation shown by forecourt retailers across the UK. We’re a committed partner, standing shoulder to shoulder with our customers to help them thrive - not just today, but for the future. With new initiatives like Scoot, we’re giving retailers a fantastic opportunity to increase basket spend, grow store sales and connect with new and existing shoppers in their communities.”
