Trivia and History
The service area here was originally part of a dual-sided service area. The northbound side included the Nuneaton branch of Little Chef, which opened in March 1989 and closed in 2002, alongside a Mobil filling station whilst the southbound side included a Mobil forecourt and Travelodge hotel. The Travelodge officially opened on 1 September 1989, with an opening ceremony attended by the Mayor of Bedworth, Tom Hargreaves.
Both Mobil forecourts became BP sites in the late 1990s, following the merger of the two businesses.
By the mid-2000s, the northbound forecourt was abandoned and the former Little Chef had become Amid Palace. This site was soon under threat as plans were being developed to expand neighbouring residential areas. Despite plans to develop trade units, the northbound forecourt was eventually demolished to provide new access to the new Penns Croft residential development. The northbound restaurant was later extended, gaining Tracey's CafĂŠ in 2010.
Around the same time, the southbound filling station became a BP Express site and gained a Wild Bean Cafe. BP later sold the site in early 2015, with the shop becoming a SPAR store. A Subway concession was then added during the summer.
Applegreen acquired the site in 2018, replacing the Subway concession with a Greggs unit in 2019. Around the same time, a number of Applegreen sites transferred to Welcome Break, but this one was excluded because it was too small.
There were plans in 2017 and 2018 to added a 21-bed hotel to the northbound side, but these were later withdrawn.
The fuel supply changed from BP to Applegreen's own fuel in April 2023. The shop also received a minor refit along with a new shop fascia.
The shop soon transferred to Londis, but was rebranded to SPAR in 2025 following EG On The Move's purchase of the forecourt.
