Your Retail Jobs

Martin McColl is the country's largest chain of Newsagents with over 900 stores; in addition there are over 300 convenience stores and 100 + High Street stores trading throughout England, Scotland and Wales. 400+ of these stores have Post Offices.

Initially the company was formed as TM Retail when in 1998 Forbuoys acquired Martin Retail Group; the earliest of these stores dated back to 1901 a RS McColl in Glasgow. The trading names of TM Retail stores at that time included Forbuoys, Martin and RS McColl.  

1999 saw the launch of TM Retail's new convenience concept McColl’s. McColl’s have subsequently been rolled out into Neighbourhood, Metro, High Street, Travel and Hospital locations.

In 2004 TM Retail acquired Dillon stores and consolidated their market position as the country's number one retailer in their sector.

Following a successful management buy out in 2005, the company has changed its name to Martin McColl Limited, and throughout the second half of 2006 is undertaking an exciting and ambitious roll out programme on all stores, that will see all newsagents branded Martin's and all convenience stores as McColl's.
