Four "Merseyside gateway" sites set to become service stations have been acquired by Euro Garages UK.
The sites situated in Aintree, Maghull, Huyton and Knowsley on the East Lancs Road are at various stages of development, and were all purchased for undisclosed sums.
Aherne Property Consultants acted on behalf of Euro Garages, which will now expand its 'mini service station' offer providing petrol filling stations, convenience retail, hot food and drinks.
David Myers, property director at Euro Garages, said: “These sites are situated on all the main arteries serving the Liverpool conurbation and complement our existing operations on Merseyside.
"We will push ahead with the delivery of these service stations as soon as possible as we see these offering an important amenity to the locations each serves whether for passing traffic, local businesses or residents.”
Full details on the sites:

Andrew Aherne of Aherne Property Consultants, added: “I have worked with Euro Garages for a long time now as it has continued to grow its portfolio over the years.
"Owing to our successful working relationship, together with my knowledge of the North West market, I was able to identify and acquire these sites off market knowing that they would be perfectly suited to my client’s unique requirements.”
