Ten years of service to Cornwall

Cornwall Services on the A30 is celebrating ten years since opening its doors to the public.

The service station is estimated to have welcomed more than 10 million people since it opened in 2014.

It attracted 600,000 vehicles in its first year of operation and has now doubled to around 1.2 million vehicles turning into installations each year.

When it opened, Cornwall Services had two big brands, McDonald’s and Costa. Over the years, they’ve been joined by Subway, Greggs and TacoBell, along with Holiday Inn Express in 2020, the Co-op in 2021 and Mountain Warehouse and Gridserve electric vehicle charging points in 2022.

As well as big brands, Cornwall Services has supported local food and local businesses. There is now a Rowes Cornish bakery, in addition to the independent Miami grocery store. Other local and independent brands include Mango Surf, which opened in 2018, as well as Saltrock and Teddy Freddy’s Barber Hut, which opened in 2019.

Andrew King, Commercial Director at Cornwall Services, said: “It has been a busy ten years for the team at Cornwall Services. We would like to thank all the local residents and business people who visit us regularly, as well as the tourists who now make a stop at Cornwall Services an essential part of their holiday.”
