Highland Fuels Ravenspark filling station in Irvine

Highland Fuels has opened its first Morrisons Daily convenience store after a knock-down rebuild of its Ravenspark filling station in Irvine.

The petrol station was completely demolished in February of this year and has re-opened with a new Esso forecourt and Morrisons Daily.

The site already required some upgrading work to its fuel tanks, and the decision was made to carry out a full knock-down rebuild at the site.

The new forecourt boasts Esso branding and retains the additional forecourt services such as a carwash, vacuum and water and free-to-use cash machine.

The site also boasts the first of Highland Fuels’ Morrisons Daily convenience stores after an agreement was signed between the two companies in 2021.

The development has seen the store more than double in size and it now offers a selection of food-to-go, groceries and essentials.

“The Ravenspark development represents a significant investment in our retail forecourt portfolio,” said Stephen Rhodes, managing director of Highland Fuels.

“We wanted to invest in the site and in Irvine, providing the local community with an excellent petrol station, but also increasing the local amenities with the addition of Morrisons Daily.

“It’s been an exciting few months watching the development take place, and we’re delighted to see it now open and busier than ever.”

The project was led by Airdrie based Fox Construction and designed by architect Colin MacKenzie.

Highland Fuels owns and operate 15 forecourts across Scotland from Orkney to Ayrshire.

The company delivers fuel to domestic and commercial customer across Scotland, including the northern and western isles from a network of depots across Scotland.
