Valli Forecourts has opened a new Spar store and BP service station on Canal Road, close to Bradford's busy ring road. The company, which now runs 18 petrol stations and convenience stores across the north of England and Birmingham, aims to make the Canal Road forecourt one of its leading sites.

Food-to-go and Convenience Offerings

The Canal Road site offers a range of food-to-go options, including Spar's £4.50-or-less meal deal in-store, alongside a sit-in Subway and two Costa Coffee machines. Tango Ice Blast, Coca-Cola slush and F'Real milkshakes and smoothies are also available.

The store provides all the usual convenience store services, with a dedicated area for protein products, as well as accessories and car care items.

Forecourt Facilities and Amenities

The BP forecourt includes 12 regular pumps, all offering BP's Ultimate fuel option and AdBlue dispensers, plus three dedicated HGV pumps. Exterior facilities are completed by five jet washes, a rollover car wash, an air, water and vacuum machine, an ATM and customer parking. The Subway also features a drive-through hatch at the rear of the Spar store.
