One Stop - Bicester

A flexible approach to refrigeration

Overview

Pure Cold has partnered with One Stop, a chain of convenience stores in the UK, for over a decade and we have supplied refrigeration to over 700 of their stores.

One Stop operates one of the UK’s largest convenience store estates, with over 1,000 owned and franchised stores across the country. One Stop needed a reliable, energy-efficient refrigeration partner, able to deliver flexible, store-specific solutions that met the chain’s requirements for consistency, low energy use and long-term performance.

Pure Cold’s partnership with One Stop to supply market-leading chilled and frozen display cases, designed specifically for the convenience sector, include a compact two-metre-high cabinet ideal for low-ceiling environments. Today, Pure Cold supports One Stop with a refrigeration programme spanning hundreds of stores, offering a tailored mix of fridges, freezers, remote systems and integral units depending on site conditions.

The Challenge

With a large and diverse portfolio of stores, One Stop needed a refrigeration solution that could:

  • Fit very small-format stores, often with tight ceiling heights
  • Provide a mix of chilled and frozen cabinets, depending on store requirements
  • Offer flexible system types – integral, remote or a mix of both
  • Maintain strong merchandising impact within compact footprints
  • Improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs

Energy use and flexibility were key priorities, alongside the need for robust equipment suitable for high-traffic convenience retail.

Approach

Convenience-optimised chilled and frozen cabinets

Pure Cold supplies low-height two metre display cabinets ideal for small-format layouts, delivering:

  • Improved visibility for shoppers
  • Ease of integration into compact convenience footprints
  • Large amount of display space despite limited height

This versatility has been central to the One Stop partnership.

Energy-efficient beer, wine & spirits (BWS) chillers

Pure Cold’s BWS chillers include built-in night-time timers that automatically switch off at set hours ensuring significant overnight energy savings.

Results

  • Nationwide delivery and installation by our in-house installation teams
  • Flexible store-by-store configuration of fridges, freezers, remote and integral cases
  • Energy savings from night-off timers in BWS chillers
  • Improved merchandising presentation thanks to compact two metre cabinet design
  • Consistency and reliability across a diverse range of stores
  • A scalable, long-term partnership, supporting ongoing store refits and new openings

The One Stop programme showcases our ability to deliver tailored solutions at scale – providing high-performance, energy-efficient cabinets that adapt to the unique requirements of modern convenience retail.
