Most filling stations are operated by companies who have nothing to do with the fuel supplier - for example, Esso supply fuel to some Euro Garages forecourts, but Euro Garages operate the filling station themselves with their choice of shop.
However, sometimes, the fuel majors actually operate their own sites. This page explains the patterns by which you can usually identify whether a filling station is centrally-operated, rather than by a franchise or licence basis.

These include:
- All M&S Simply Food branded stores (except Wetherby)
- Any store with a Wild Bean Café concession
Shell
Shell mainly operate petrol stations under the 'Select' fascia which usually comes with a food offering called deli by Shell. These all have Costa Express machines inside them.
These include:
- Select stores (except those located within Welcome Break service areas)
- 'Little Waitrose at Shell Select' branded stores
- Budgens stores with a deli by Shell range inside
