Esso is the UK subsidary of ExxonMobil for forecourt fuel sales. ROC, the former operator of the retail branch, used the brands Snack and Shop and On the Run and Tesco operate Tesco Express mainly for their retail stores, but Rontec and Euro Garages operate "Shop 'n Drive" and "Spar" stores respectively too.
On the Run[edit | edit source]
On the Run stores were normally Esso's brand for their biggest forecourts, most of which operated a cafe called On the Run Cafe, which usually included a Costa outlet.
Snack and Shop[edit | edit source]
Snack and Shop were Esso's medium-sized stores, which sold most things a normal convenience store would sell. They usually came with a Costa Express machine.
Tesco Express[edit | edit source]
A joint business venture between Tesco and Esso, meaning customers can fill up and get their branded shop done at the same time.
