As a convenience store, Somerfield had a fleeting appearance at motorway services, but had more of an impact with their forecourts.
Somerfield would operate stores attached to Texaco filling stations. The lease of some of those was taken over by Shell in 2008.
They also leased a supermarket which formed the majority of the facilities at the unusual Blackburn with Darwen services.
In March 2009 the Somerfield chain was taken over by Co-operative Group to merge with their The Co-operative Food brand, which took effect over the following three years. All stores have since been re-branded again to Co-op Food.
