Award-winning forecourt operator Tout’s has renewed its contract with Co-op Wholesale for another five years.

The family-owned firm, which has been trading since 1977 and operates three forecourts in the South West of England, has “a long partnership” with Co-op Wholesale. The renewed deal comes as Tout’s looks to expand into 10 sites.

Co-op Wholesale rebranded from Nisa Retail in March and has been on a forecourt push of late. Since August this year it has been chosen to supply Top 50 Indies Sewell on the go, Highland Group and Tankerford, plus Griffiths Forecourts.

Commenting on the renewed contract, Tout’s chief executive, Jonathan Tout, says the wholesaler “gives us the quality, ambition and support we need”, and “keeps helping us raise the bar”, adding that ”extending the partnership was an easy decision for us as we look to grow further.”

Co-op Wholesale’s sales director, Paul Webster, describes Tout’s as “a bold, forward thinking operator with a clear vision for the future of forecourt retail”, and says his firm is “excited to keep building with them as they grow and lead the sector forward”.
