EV charging expansion The group is actively deploying ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging points across nine Coventry and Warwickshire stores, signaling opportunities to partner on charging network infrastructure, maintenance services, and loyalty or co-branding programs with EV-related products.

New store formats Recent introduction of a food-to-go focused store format creates openings for suppliers and partners in ready-to-eat meals, deli products, packaging, and supply chain services tailored to high-throughput convenience retail environments.

Delivery growth Heart Delivered launched via a rapid grocery delivery platform, presenting sales opportunities in last-mile logistics, local delivery optimization, dark kitchen-style partnerships, and technology integrations for order fulfillment and analytics.

Regional footprint Rapid store expansion with 40th store milestone and new sites like Southam indicates a growing regional customer base and potential cross-sell of store-brand assortments, local supplier engagements, and co-op member incentives.

Co-op partnerships Active collaboration with suppliers under the DeliCo banner and partnerships like Country Choice suggests scope for exclusive product lines, regional menus, private-label opportunities, and joint promotions to drive footfall and basket size.
