Trivia and History
The service area here opened in 1983 with a Shell filling station alongside the 'Collin' branch of Little ChefHistory.
Following the opening on the Dumfries bypass in October 1990, the existing Shell filling station was redeveloped to expand the facilities on offer here. The new forecourt opened in early 1991 and featured Shell's Select store as well as all new pumps and canopy.
The bypass brought increased traffic to the area and Forte decided to add a Travelodge hotel at the back of the site to benefit from this. This launched in late March 1996, with an official opening ceremony held on 17 April 1996. A Burger King franchise was also later added in June 1998, which later closed in the mid-2000s.
The Little Chef closed in September 2012 along with 67 other underperforming sites as part of R Capital's wrath of closures. The site then became home to an independent restaurant called Curly Coo's, who changed very little of the interior, but this later closed in 2015.
Euro Garages bought the restaurant building in 2017 and converted it into one of their Starbucks stores. They later re-utilised the former Burger King space by adding a Greggs store, which opened on 11 June 2021.
