Four more forecourts have been bought by Ascona Group - including one of the closest to its Humber Bank petrol producer Phillips 66.
Three sites in Lincolnshire are complemented by a North East site - taking the total to 55 across the 海角视频.
Jet-brandeed Luxmore East and Luxmore West straddle the A180, which links Grimsby and Scunthorpe immediately south of the huge Humber refinery Ascona recently strengthened ties with.
Wragby Road in central Lincoln and Foxcover in Sunderland complete the acquisitions.
Ascona chief executive Darren Briggs, a former Total 海角视频 executive who founded the company a decade ago with two sites, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to add these forecourts to our growing portfolio, and are actively seeking to acquire more sites across the North of England to firmly establish an Ascona presence in the region.
鈥淲e look forward to serving the local communities in Lincolnshire and Sunderland with our combined fuel and retail offering.
鈥淲ith 55 sites so far, we are on track to achieving our ambitious goal to be one of the top three independent fuel retailers in the 海角视频 market. Our rapid expansion is a testament to our hardworking team, and demonstrates the sizeable opportunity for both organic and acquisitive growth in the market.鈥
Lincolnshire links are also tied in with the convenience brand, having adopted Nisa. All four will feature them, with a five-year agreement in place with Jet.
Mr Briggs added: 鈥淲ith these recent acquisitions, Ascona is on target to reach its ambition of growing to 60 sites by the end of April, and 300 sites in the next five years.鈥
The Pembrokeshire-based group has secured backing from Crestline Europe and Nash Business Capital to more than double its portfolio.
More than 150,000 customers a week are now served by the business.
