Products and brands
Market position
Extra is the fourth largest service station operator in the UK (by number of locations) behind Moto, Welcome Break and RoadChef. It came into operation after the government deregulated motorway services to encourage more competition and its first site opened in December 2000, at Cambridge.
Service stations
Extra developed its first three service stations at a cost of £60 million. The parent company was set up in 1992 by Stephen Spouge, who is now chairman. Its service stations are designed by Nash and Partners of West Sussex.
As of April 2026, Extra operates eight service areas:
