Retail Development

In today’s highly competitive market place consumers are becoming more demanding of their local convenience stores.
This in tandem with the increasing number of supermarkets squeezing profit margins; the convenience store sector is under unprecedented pressure to provide a professional service at affordable prices.

Building on the success of 650 ‘Best-in’ facia retail outlets ‘Best-One’ own symbol group was launched in 2001. Through Best-One, retailers are provided help and advice on improving their external store image, fostering a convenient shopping environment, merchandising, marketing, insurance and arranging free and frequent shop deliveries etc.      

Unlike other symbol groups, Best-One is unique in the sense that retailers are not required to pay a joining or annual fee.  A team of business development advisors is on hand 24 hours a day to provide advice to member retailers without the burden of any surcharges or central office fees.  Thus allowing members to invest more in the growth of their business. `Best-One’ today is one the fastest growing symbol groups in UK with over 700 members.

In October 2008 Best One extended its services by commencing the roll-out of the Western Union Money Transfer service.

Best One has recently launched its ordering and interactive website www.best-one.co.uk
