Trivia and History
In the 1930s there was a garage on what is now the old road across the Isle of Sheppey, which is now part of the A250. In 1981, this garage was known as Sheppey Auto Garage and gained fuel facilities around this time. This later became the current service station, with fuel provided by Esso throughout the 1980s.
The site was later acquired by George Hammond Plc in the early 1990s, who rebranded the site to Shell in 1998. The site was later rebranded to BP in the 2000s. In early 2012, the filling station was refurbished, gaining a larger sales building housing a SPAR store with a Subway concession. The forecourt also gained a four-bay jet wash and vac centre.
The Subway closed in 2018, whilst the sales building rebranded to Welcome in partnership with Southern Co-op in May 2019.
On 30 June 2021, MFG acquired George Hammond PLC which saw this site transfer to their estate. As a result of the acquisition, MFG rebranded the store to Budgens and reintroduced Costa Express to the site. MFG then refurbished the interior in October 2021 opening a new Greggs store in the former Subway space on 21 October 2021 alongside a number of grab and go options.
