Margram were a land developer with an involvement in several service areas.
Mostly, Margram would purchase land next to a junction on a busy A-road, and kit it out with a restaurant (usually McDonald's), a petrol station and sometimes a motel.
When they purchased land next to motorways, their design policy was very similar. In order to meet the motorway service area requirements a large amenity building would be built, but it would be clearly divided into segments with a different door for each. The two they built were branded with McDonald's signs.
In 2003 the motorway sites were sold to Extra and other facilities were sold on.
