The history of McColls
It was in 1901 when Robert Smyth McColl (the famous Scottish footballer) opened the first RS McColl shop in Glasgow. But it would be another few decades before the McColl’s Group would be founded, starting out as a vending business in 1973.
During the next few years, the Group purchased Forbouys newsagents (and opened its first food store), plus Martin’s chain of newsagents and convenience stores, leading to McColl’s transforming into the UK’s largest neighbourhood retailer. In 2000, the Group sold its vending business to focus exclusively on retail – and merged its store brands into McColl’s for convenience and Martin’s (or RS McColl) for newsagents.
Business bloomed right across the UK, and in 2016 the Group opened its 1000th convenience shop in Slade Green, Erith. Boosting its reputation considerably in 2018, the Group introduced the Safeway brand of fresh food and groceries.
Today, the McColl’s brand remains a leading neighbourhood retailer across England, Scotland and Wales thanks to its thousands of shops, friendly and professional staff, and millions of weekly customers.
