About One Stop

Your trusted, reliable franchise partner

The UK’s best convenience store franchise, we represent the very best in convenience retailing. A subsidiary of Tesco since 2003, we have over 950 stores across England, Wales and Scotland. Our franchise journey started in January 2014, and it wasn’t long before we were named “Best Emerging Franchisor”. We’ve continued to evolve our franchise model since launch and seen sustained growth thanks to market-leading promotions, advanced technology, ongoing support, and guidance for our retailers, all backed by a great retail environment and customer experience.

Today, we have 280 franchise stores and we’re continuing to see a significant interest in the One Stop brand and its strong retail proposition. We work closely with our retailers to make sure joining One Stop drives sales and profitability of their business. Leveraging supplier relationships, enhancing the look and feel within stores and providing a dedicated Business Development Manager are just some of things we do to make sure our franchisees remain competitive within the market. Over the past few years, there has been a heightened awareness from new and existing retailers looking to invest in the franchise market. At One Stop we’re proud to be perfectly positioned to support retailers on this exciting journey.

We are proud winners of Convenience Retailer of the Year at the Retail Industry Awards 2022, as well as the Grocer Gold Awards 2021 and winning Franchise Group of The Year twice in three years (2016 and 2018). Plus, our Convenience Industry Competitor Tracker tool consistently ranks us first in the market for our great offers.
