AY&Y Patel SPAR Ceylon service station 1

AY&Y Patel Dewsbury have transformed the Ceylon service station in Rochdale with a £1.5 million complete knockdown rebuild. Located in Yorkshire Street, the site has been in the family business for almost 35 years and now has an expanded new Spar, serviced by James Hall & Co. Ltd.

The four-month project has created a bright and airy store of 1,230 sq.ft. Highlights include a Fanta Frozen machine and chai and coffee units complementing a strong range of products across all categories.

Shaheena Patel, Operations Manager at AY&Y Patel Dewsbury Ltd, said: “Our Ceylon service station is something of a family favourite being one of our earliest sites and we are thrilled with the results of the rebuild.

“During the transformation, we removed the old car wash at the back of the site to increase the sales space in the new store. Visually the store is fantastic, and the range we have included utilises the space available to great effect. Overall, we’re delighted and grateful for the support we’ve had.”
