	Petrol Forecourt Retailing - UK
		The main function of forecourt shops at the time was to sell to motorists, items relating to their journey, eg confectionery, cigarettes, maps, motoring sundries.
		While recent years have seen heavy investment in forecourt shops and strong growth in sales, in some ways the sector is still in its infancy.
		However, it is possible to look at forecourt shops from a completely different angle and ask 'do convenience stores aimed at the motorist need to have a petrol station attached?' It could be argued that petrol pumps are a waste of space that could be used for retailing or parking.

		High petrol prices have seen motorists less inclined to spend in the forecourt shop, particularly if it is owned by a fuel retailer rather than the more consumer-friendly supermarkets.

	Extended Expert View: Models of C-Store Joint Ventures in European Forecourt Retailing - Automotive Business Review
		Although the hybrid forecourt joint venture gives the retailer more flexibility to choose a range of products suitable for the motoring consumer, there is some dilution of individual brand power with the hybrid ventures that is not present in the classic format.
		The growing presence of established retailers such as Tesco, Carrefour and Ahold within the fuel retailing arena questions their willingness to enter into convenience partnerships with their oil company competitors.
