Forecourt retailing is a retail sector that is undergoing wide-ranging changes. The number of forecourts in the UK has been in long-term decline, influenced by flat demand for fuel.

The fuel market is highly price-competitive and margins have been falling, leading to the closure of many smaller sites with low fuel volumes. Concentration of ownership of the fuel providers has led to closure of overlapping sites.

In the last decade overall numbers of forecourt sites have fallen by over 6,000 to just below 10,000 in 2006. However, intense competition usually stimulates improvements in standards at retail and this theme will be examined throughout this report.
