What EG On the Move does
EG On The Move is a UK-based forecourt and convenience retail operator owned by billionaire Zuber Issa. The company runs over 150 petrol filling stations across the United Kingdom, each combining fuel pumps, a convenience store, parcel collection, branded foodservice concessions (Starbucks, Greggs, Popeyes, Subway, Sbarro, SpudBros, Chaiiwala), and, at an increasing number of sites, EV charging infrastructure — including 28 white-label Tesla Supercharger locations (166 chargers) operated under the EV On The Move brand. Reported 2025 revenues were over £1bn with EBITDA of £52m, and headcount stands at over 1,700 UK staff.
The company's revenue model rests on four retail channels — fuel sales, grocery and merchandise, foodservice concession commissions/rent, and usage-based EV charging — supplemented by a corporate fuel card sold to fleet operators. Distribution is entirely physical, direct-to-consumer at company-owned sites, with growth driven by acquiring independent forecourt operators (e.g., MPK Garages Ltd, 27 sites) and licensed brand partnerships rather than proprietary technology platforms; no AI, software-as-a-service, or platform layer is disclosed. Disclosed technology is operational: energy management systems, CCTV/ANPR, and a fuel-card back office.
Strategically, EG On The Move is in an active expansion phase. A February 2026 agreement to acquire approximately 260 fuel retail sites in France from EG Group — expected to close Q2 2026 — marks its first international move and would more than double its footprint. The company is simultaneously building greenfield sites (a £4m petrol station and Starbucks drive-thru at Integra 61, County Durham; a hotel-and-pub phase at Newtown, Wales) and deepening its foodservice mix through new brand partnerships such as SpudBros (30 sites over three years). Carbon-Trust-supported Scope 1/2 target-setting signals early positioning for the energy transition.

EG On the Move competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Tesco Extra / Tesco Fuel: UK supermarket operator running large-scale supermarket fuel centres (Tesco petrol stations) co-located with grocery and food-to-go. Competes for the same value-conscious road traveller via fuel + grocery proposition, though within a much larger grocery business.
- Esso (ExxonMobil): Major branded UK petrol forecourt operator with on-site convenience retail and foodservice (including partnerships with brands such as Subway and Greggs). Comparable multi-format retail proposition, but ultimately backed by an integrated oil major.
- BP Retail (BP plc): Major integrated oil major with a large UK and European forecourt retail network including convenience retail and EV charging (BP pulse). Competes with EG On The Move for the same roadside consumer, but at much greater scale and as part of a broader upstream/downstream portfolio.
- Shell Mobility (Shell plc): Global oil major operating branded UK and European petrol forecourts with integrated convenience stores and an EV charging rollout. Direct overlap on fuel retail, convenience, and EV charging proposition, though Shell is an integrated energy major rather than a forecourt pure-play.
- EG Group: EG Group is a global forecourt and convenience retail operator and the former parent/sister entity of EG On The Move, founded by the Issa family. Direct overlap in UK and European forecourt operations, C-store retail, foodservice concessions, and EV charging, and is also the seller of the French assets EG On The Move is acquiring.
Emerging players
- InstaVolt: UK-focused rapid EV charging network operator with a growing footprint of high-power charging stations. Comparable to EG On The Move's EV On The Move / Tesla white-label offering as a competing roadside EV charging proposition targeting the same driver.
Direct peers
- Moto Hospitality: UK's largest motorway services operator providing fuel, food brands (including Starbucks, Greggs, Burger King), and convenience retail at UK sites. Closely comparable in offering roadside food, fuel, and convenience to road travellers and in integration of branded concessions.
- Applegreen plc: Irish-headquartered forecourt and motorway services operator with significant UK presence and US operations. Direct comparable in fuel retail, convenience stores, foodservice concessions, and the 'one-stop roadside' proposition targeting roadside travellers.
- Welcome Break: UK motorway services operator with fuel stations, branded food outlets (e.g., Starbucks, KFC, Burger King), and convenience retail. Direct comparable for multi-format roadside retail under one roof at strategic motorway-adjacent locations.
- SGF (Petrol Retailers Association): The UK trade association for petrol retailing whose membership represents the independent and regional forecourt operators that EG On The Move directly competes with and acquires from (e.g., MPK Garages). Relevant as the aggregated competitive set of independent UK forecourt operators.
