The National Convenience Show 2025, held from 7–9 April at NEC Birmingham, proved to be an incredible experience for the One Stop Franchise team — and one that surpassed even the success of last year’s event.
With three days packed full of great conversations, high energy, and new connections, the show gave us the perfect platform to engage directly with independent retailers from across the UK. From seasoned store owners to aspiring entrepreneurs, it was inspiring to hear their journeys, share ideas, and learn more about their ambitions for the future.
This year, our stand was busier than ever. We welcomed hundreds of visitors, many of whom were eager to explore how joining the One Stop Franchise family could help them grow their business with the support of a trusted, nationwide brand.
“Having attended the National Convenience Show 2025 earlier this month where we met so many brilliant and passionate retailers, we have now contacted and arranged follow-up meetings with a record number of excellent franchise leads, who we hope to welcome to the One Stop Franchise family this year,” said Carl Traill, Head of Franchise Development at One Stop.
As we continue to grow and expand our franchise network, events like the National Convenience Show are a valuable reminder of just how vibrant and entrepreneurial the convenience sector is. We’re proud to be a part of that journey with so many brilliant retailers, and we’re already looking forward to next year.
If you didn’t get a chance to meet us at the show, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch and discover how One Stop can help take your store to the next level.
