Chains and independents

Of the 3,154 convenience stores we hold, 2,074 (66%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Quickshop (613), FreshStop (327), Pick n Pay Express (284), Bonjour (256) and Spar (219). The other 34% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.

• Phone ahead to confirm the business is still trading at the listed address. Our data comes from an open mapping dataset and can be out of date.
• Ask about prices, availability and opening times directly. NearMe does not publish prices or opening hours.
