Motorway service area (MSA) operator Roadchef has officially opened its newly refurbished and extended Strensham South site, at junction 8 of the M5, including the only Boots store on the motorway network.

Motorists stopping at Strensham South will find a new Spar store that will feature the latest store design which includes a served Dolcetti ice cream counter, a premium donut offer from Dots Original Donuts and a premium gifting cart. The site also features a Leon restaurant and a fully refurbished McDonald’s and Costa Coffee.

Roadchef has also created a differentiated offering at Strensham with the introduction of the only Boots store located in a UK motorway service area. The 122sq m store will give customers on-the-move a convenient and quick pick up point for health and beauty essentials, including the exclusive Boots Pharmaceuticals range and beauty brands including No7, L’Oréal and Rimmel.
