Jordon have recently finished work on one of the latest Convenience Stores to be part of the Best One buying group. Located in the suburb of Longsite, less that 1 mile from Manchester city centre the new store is perfectly situated amongst a captive audience of shoppers, not to mention the new high specification flats that the store is located beneath.

“After we were presented with a compulsory purchase order for our old premises we were left with no choice but to relocate to a temporary premises whilst work commenced on our new store” says Charlie, the owner. “Things have definitely worked out for the best” enthuses Charlie “having just moved into our new shop we’re really happy with the finished job, our customers all love the place as well”.

Jordon were responsible for transforming the empty shell of the new premises into a complete convenience store. This included everything from the floor to the ceiling. Gareth Lowry, Retail Design Consultant for Jordon comments “the first job was to get the floor laid, then we could begin work on building the partitions to separate the shop floor from the store room”.
