This brand new store features the stand out black, red and lime green fascia which denotes the higher end myCostcutter and sets to differentiate itself from other convenience stores in the market place. The new black fascia offers the full package, staying loyal to Costcutter values whilst encorporating the sleek new colours, spacious&nbsp;layout and sumptuous textures throughout store; maintaining the high end interior design.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">There is a butchery counter, deli counter, hot food and an ATM and is run by Lurgan man Melvin Moutray, who says it will be a great boost to the Moygashel area. &ldquo;There will be 30 plus jobs being created and it's a big boost for the local area," he said. "We saw an opening here for a good sized supermarket to serve the people of Moygashel and the wider area. There will also be ample car parking space on the land, with anything up to 100 cars potentially accommodated". The Moutray family have been in retail for 52 years, and already own two Costcutters stores, one in Lurgan and the other in nearby Dollingstown .&ldquo;We have a lot of contacts in the area," says Melvin, "there was a Costcutter here before seven or eight years ago which did well and hopefully it'll be the same for us". Melvin says he is keen to have a good relationship with the people of Moygashel and is happy the store is opened.&ldquo;This has been in planning since last November so is fantastic to eventually get it up and running. We are here to work with the people of Moygashel."</p> <p style="text-align: center;">The Jordon Group would like to thank Melvin and the team for giving us the opportunity to work with them and wish them the best of luck with their new venture.</p> <h4 style="text-align: center;">If you are planning store development, <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/contact/">call to speak to one of our Retail Design Consultants today</a>.</h4> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img style="float: left;" src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbDSCN0454 (2).JPG_1351087767_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbDSCN0421 (2).JPG_1351087809_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbDSCN0420 (2).JPG_1351088016_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbDSCN0425 (2).JPG_1351088055_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbDSCN0433 (2).JPG_1351088119_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbDSCN0435 (2).JPG_1351088198_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbDSCN0426 (2).JPG_1351088284_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbDSCN0416 (2).JPG_1351088322_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>+</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>Posted in: <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/category/news">News</a>, <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/category/recent-projects">Recent projects</a></p> Londis Hull http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/post/londis-hull http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/post/londis-hull Fri, 21 Sep 2012 00:00:00 GMT <h3 style="text-align: center;">Trade is booming at Londis Hull</h3> <p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbLondis Hull (GL) 002.JPG_1348229100_500x400_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="Londis Hull" /><span style="text-align: center;">The store opening went fantastically well on Saturday 8th September 2012 with sales up by 10%.

It will be an excellent example to help drive recruitment and development in the Hull area.&nbsp;Jay and his family have also asked to pass on their thanks, and you could see how proud they were of the store when all of their guests and family arrived for the opening ceremony at 10.00 on Saturday. Jay will be an great retailer and ambassador for Londis and he literally could not stop smiling on the opening day.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">We wish Jay and his family the best of luck with his new store and hope to work with him again in the near future.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">If you're store is in need of redevelopment call sales on 0845 408 4426 for a complimentary site survey and CAD design drawing.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbLondis Hull (GL) 003.JPG_1348229316_400x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="Londis Hull" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbLondis Hull (GL) 005.JPG_1348229497_400x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="Londis Hull" /></p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbLondis Hull (GL) 006-Optimized.JPG_1348229912_400x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbLondis Hull (GL) 007-Optimized.JPG_1348229960_400x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbLondis Hull (GL) 010-Optimized.JPG_1348230005_400x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbLondis Hull (GL) 012-Optimized.JPG_1348230046_400x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p><p>Posted in: <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/category/recent-projects">Recent projects</a></p> Costcutter Exhibition 2012 http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/post/costcutter-exhibition-2012 http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/post/costcutter-exhibition-2012 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 00:00:00 GMT <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Following the success of last years' prestigous 25th year anniversary celebrations, the leading symbol group is once again staging its one day exhibition and gala dinner in Birmingham.</h3> <p><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bb10888_Kwiksave-logo.jpg_1347633438_300x200_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/resources/images/Costcutter logo.png" alt="" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">As part of Costcutter Supermarkets Group's pledge to give its retailers the very best opportunities to increase sales and profit, an additional &pound;1m has been injected into the deals available to retailers attending the showpiece event.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">160 suppliers will be attending the exhibition, including ourselves to show support as Costcutters' approved Shopfitting Contractors.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">The exhibition, which this year has a circus theme, is said to be the perfect opportunity for retailers to find out more about all three of Costcutter Supermarket Groups' convenience retail fascias - Kwiksave, Costcutter and myCostcutter, and the soon to launch Rhythm &amp; Booze franchise package.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">The exhibition takes place in the Kings and Palace Suites of the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, the doors open at 10am on Monday 17th September and close at 4pm.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <h4 style="text-align: center;">Come and join us on stand 65 for what promises to be a fantastic day.</h4> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p>Posted in: <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/category/news">News</a></p> New Year, New Catalogue... http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/post/new-catalogue http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/post/new-catalogue Wed, 02 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT <h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Request a Catalogue</span></strong></h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Our new 2012 - 2013 Catalogue has landed here at Jordon's and it looks fantastic (if we do think so ourselves).

The local post office was also purchased and brought into the new shop and from a standing start in September 2004 the supermarket has grown in line with the village. Last year the turnover reached 1.5 million and is on course this year to achieve 1.6million.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">The store was completely refurbished by <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/about/">the Jordon Group</a> in November 2011 and has received a fantastic response from its customers seeing an increase in turnover and footfall.

From his specification, Fraser put together a tailor made<a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/category/shopfitting/"> CAD design</a> of the store and schedule of works.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Before pictures</span>...</p> <p><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/f520774ba21e04b3a489b69e787752722011_0803PennyAlloa0010.JPG_1330702693_300x250_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/f520774ba21e04b3a489b69e787752722011_0803PennyAlloa0011.JPG_1330702781_300x250_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/f520774ba21e04b3a489b69e787752722011_0803PennyAlloa0008.JPG_1330702854_300x250_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;<img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/f520774ba21e04b3a489b69e787752722011_0803PennyAlloa0009.JPG_1330702951_300x250_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>Work commenced removing internal walls to create a sales area of 153 square metres.

Literally fear the bill dropping through the door and can't imagine where such figures came from?</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Here at the Jordon Group we know how stressful things can get without the worry of soaring energy costs. That's why we're letting you into a little secret... the biggest energy saving a convenience retailer can make is to put doors on your chillers.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Retrofit doors on chillers have become big business in the industry over the past year. By fitting doors to your chillers you can save up to a quarter on your refrigeration costs, and when you take into account that refrigeration makes up 60% of the average store's power use, that's money worth saving.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">The doors can be hinged doors opening outwards towards the customer, or sliding. With hinged doors it is important to have enough isle space as open doors take 40cm. If space is a problem in your store then sliding doors maybe a better solution.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbChester_ Retro-Fit 041.JPG_1330007303_700x400_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">After the decision of door choice has been made, you may then want to consider <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/news/post/the-bright-benefits-of-led-lighting-/">LED lighting</a>. This again will save energy costs <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/news/post/the-bright-benefits-of-led-lighting-/">(see our story on LED lighting)</a> and also provide greater illumination as fitting doors to chillers will reduce ambient light by 20%.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">There are Carbon Trust loans available to help with the funding of retrofit doors, and here at Jordon we can also help with this. Call <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/contact/">0845 408 4426</a> to discuss.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Costcutter owner, Jane Parsons at the Old School Store in Woebley had doors fitted to her chillers...</p> <p style="text-align: center;">"<strong><em>We had had the doors fitted in January and we have seen huge cost savings already. We have calculated that we're saving 50KW per day. We have 9.25 metres which equals an estimated saving of 10p per KW, roughly saving &pound;5.00 per day, &pound;35.00 per week, &pound;1,820.00. Of course we have not been through the summer months yet so this is likely to increase considerably should we go through a hot spell. Based on the current figures we have estimated payback to within 5 years. However we expect this to be earlier when we re-negotiate our electricity price as the only way electricity appears to be going is up!"</em></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Costcutter Woebley's recent Retrofit Doors</em></strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbChester_ Retro-Fit 053.JPG_1330007216_700x400_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">The benefits are not just cost saving, doors on chillers make shopping a better experience for customers. No longer will your store be ice cold due to open fronted chillers expelling cold air, your store will remain at an ambient temperature - pleasant to shop. Products also benefit from a longer shelf life thanks to chiller doors. There is less waste as food products are kept at an optimum temperature.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Costcutter Woebley's recent Retrofit Doors</em></strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbChester_ Retro-Fit 043.JPG_1330007137_700x400_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p>If you decide that chiller doors are the way forward for your store, then you need to decide on whether to retrofit your existing chillers, or go the whole hog and install new chillers with doors. Ultimately, it comes down to how old your equipment is. If your chiller is over eight years old, you may need to think about changing the whole case.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Introducing doors to your chillers can seem daunting, but in the long-run you can save thousands. "This is the quickest, fastest way to save money", says Managing Director Paul jordon. "It's good for the pocket, the planet, and the product is a case of sooner done, sooner saved."</p> <p style="text-align: center;">If you're considering Retrofit Doors, LED Lighting or Carbon Trust Loans please <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/contact/">call for free impartial advice</a>, today.</p><p>Posted in: <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/category/news">News</a>, <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/category/recent-projects">Recent projects</a></p> Gowy Service Station - Chester http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/post/gowy-service-station---chester http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/post/gowy-service-station---chester Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMT <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">The Jordon Group are delighted to announce that works are now complete on Gowy Service Station in Chester and the site is officially open.</h2> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbGowy, Chester (7).JPG_1329408393_600x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="Gowy service station" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">The site has been in development for several weeks but the hard work has most certainly paid off as the results are very impressive.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Full redevelopment was carried out by the Jordon Group and includes a BP forecourt, a Spar, a Subway with seating area, a cash machine, convenience store and parking.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">We would like to congratulate Euro Garages on the latest of their ever growing forcourt sites and wish them all best for future success. &nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbGowy, Chester (29).JPG_1329408489_600x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="Gowy service station" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.jordon.co.uk/uploaded/thumbnails/c81b2bb310c39abef7a77d96311797bbGowy, Chester (5).JPG_1329408553_600x300_keep_ratio.jpg" alt="Gowy Service Station" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Other Euro Garages developments include:</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/news/post/uttoxeter-service-station/">Uttoxeter</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/news/post/handford-service-station/">Handford</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Beehive</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/news/post/euro-garages-bolton-west-rivington-services-m61/">Rivington</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;">If you would like a no obligation quotation on <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/category/shopfitting/">shop fitting</a>, <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/category/refrigeration/">refrigeration</a> or <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/category/air-conditioning/">air conditioning</a> please call <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/contact/">0845 408 4426</a>, today.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>Posted in: <a href="http://www.jordon.co.uk/blog/category/recent-projects">Recent projects</a></p>
