Join the party at Parkfoot


There’s plenty to celebrate at Parkfoot Garage this Easter and you’re warmly invited to join in the fun.


The award-winning business will be partying on Saturday, April 2 to mark three amazing years since opening its new Spar convenience store at the BP site at 265, London Road, West Malling. Expect free screen washes, entertainers, samplings and giveaways, special offers, freebies for the kids and birthday cake.


The fun will last from 10am to 5pm , and to make it even more of a red letter day, the party will see the re-launch of Parkfoot’s newly refurbished in-store bakery with lots of delicious tasters.


So why not call in on the big day and enjoy:


• Free Tchibo freshly brewed coffee • Craft beer and wine sampling


• Bakery treats – mini cream teas, cupcakes, pizzas & paninis • Magician from 10.30am to 3pm • goody bags


The friendly family-owned business has gone from strength to strength since it was founded by Sonnie Charman in 1949. “The last three years have been beyond our wildest expectations”, says managing director David Charman, who is Sonnie’s grandson.


What was once the family house was demolished three years ago to make way for a state of the art convenience store. Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it incorporates a butchery, in-store bakery, award-winning off- licence and a host of locally-sourced products. The excellent service that Parkfoot provides has been recognised with a clutch of awards. It won Best Forecourt in London and the South East for an unprecedented three consecutive years and last year was named Convenience Store of the Year, taking second place in the international competition. “The award we’re most proud of is Best Customer Service in the UK”, said David. “Our staff mean a lot to us: some have been here for 30 years and two generations of the same family often work side by side. The most frequent comment I receive from customers is how much they appreciate our friendly staff.” Parkfoot also prides itself on having been a Living Wage employer for many years.

success stories of the re-development. Manager Kevin Hughes has been in the trade all his working life, having started at 17. “He definitely knows all about meat”, said David’s sister Sue Charman. “He can give expert advice on a particular cut of meat and advise customers on recipes. Kevin sources all the meat and you can ring or email to order an item and call to pay and collect.”


“It’s easy to park and pop in at Parkfoot”, said


Kevin, who has recently added fresh fish and shellfish to his range. “So many local butchers have closed down and people really appreciate being able to chat to knowledgeable staff and love both the special offers and the loyalty scheme.”


The in-store bakery will be celebrating its relaunch with new lines including pizzas, salads, paninis, jacket potatoes and lots of specials such as gluten-free chocolate brownies and speciality breads.


So if you need to fill up your freezer, buy fresh fish, fruit and veg, use the car washes or jet washes, pick up your favourite Cook frozen meal or browse the extensive off-licence for speciality beers, local wines, fizz or spirits, make sure you pop along to Parkfoot on Saturday, April 2 and join in the party fun.
