History
In March 2001, brothers Mohsin and Zuber Issa founded Euro Garages, with the purchase of a single BP forecourt in Bury, Greater Manchester for £150,000. From 2001 onwards, the brothers would then acquire numerous forecourts, such as from oil majors who were seeking to dispose their retail operations to focus on other interests. The brothers would implement concessions such as fast-food and convenience store providers at these sites, and would then expand into an international business.By the end of 2022, EG Group had £7.6bn in debt, and was seeking to offload this debt by selling assets. In May 2023, it was announced that Asda Express would acquire a significant number of EG Group's UK forecourts and foodservice locations. In December 2023, it was announced that Yum!
