Our Story
The Foundation of MR Groups
Established in 2011, MR Groups began with a single retail outlet in London. Our founders recognized a key gap in the market: local neighborhoods required more than just static convenience stores—they needed clean, welcoming, and integrated utility hubs that combined food, energy, and retail.
Through rigorous work, strategic joint ventures, and keeping a firm focus on convenience, we gradually expanded. In 2015, we branched into fuel forecourts, building partnerships with leading energy companies (BP, Shell, Texaco) and convenience food store chains (Budgens).
