Roadside Real Estate (AIM:ROAD) has completed the acquisition of D A Roberts Fuels, a single petrol filling station with an attached bulk fuel distribution operation in Whitchurch, Shropshire.
The UK energy forecourt real estate business did not disclose the consideration paid for the target.
The Whitchurch site sits in what Roadside calls a strategically important location, with combined bulk fuel and forecourt sales of approximately 98.3 million litres in the 2025 financial year.
Forecourt fuel sales alone ran at roughly four times the average volume of a typical UK petrol station, underlining the scale of the individual site relative to the wider network.
The deal adds a distribution operation alongside the retail forecourt, broadening Roadside's exposure beyond pump sales into bulk fuel supply.
News Intelligence what this means for the company
Roadside Real Estate has completed its acquisition of D A Roberts Fuels, a Shropshire petrol station with an attached bulk fuel distribution operation handling 98.3 million litres annually—roughly four times a typical UK forecourt's volume. The deal closes a transaction delayed by probate process and marks the company's first entry into bulk fuel distribution alongside retail pump sales, broadening its revenue model beyond forecourt operations alone.
The acquisition adds a high-volume, strategically positioned site and introduces a new distribution revenue stream, but the undisclosed consideration leaves investors unable to assess whether the price paid represents value relative to the company's recent £28.6m Hoch Group purchase or its £25m HSBC facility drawn in June.
