GT Retail is one of the leading privately owned convenience retailers in the Midlands and the North. Its outlets stretch from Leeds to Rugby and as far west as Manchester. Its reputation as a major regional player is reinforced by standards of customer service and retail stores that are the envy of many in the industry.

An innovative and resourceful management team drives the business forward by actively seek to strengthen its network of stores, whilst their energy, drive and commitment ensures GT remains at the forefront of convenience retailing.

GT recognises that its position as a dynamic and progressive concern is dependent upon its ability to adapt to changing customer requirements and the rapidly changing convenience marketplace. The business is, therefore, split into three distinct sectors - convenience stores, high street and Transport Interchange stores and traditional Newsagents - to ensure each store is managed effectively and ranged accordingly and to fully exploit the trading opportunities available at each location.

The company has long recognised the development and growth of the convenience stores marketplace and the need to further develop this area of its operation. Therefore, the Company is working with SPAR to invest substantially in bright, modern stores in both neighbourhood and high street locations. These SPAR stores are refurbished to exceptionally high standards and cater for everyone's daily needs, having extended opening hours and stocking a large range of chilled meals, food to go, frozen foods, beers and wines, videos, cards and stationery. In a number of locations Post Offices have been integrated into convenience stores and product lines increased to meet local demand.
