Mole Avon Country Stores

Our Okehampton Journey

In 1975 a ‘sub depot’ was established at Okehampton, initially in Crediton Road, but a branch followed at the old Barton Garage premises on Exeter Road in July 1979. Significant additional and adjoining land was purchased in 1983 and 1999 to create the site we operate from today.

These additional land purchases incorporated the development of the Mole Avon Forecourt over the years, having continued fuel retailing since the acquisition of the Barton Garage in 1979. The Spar brand was added in 2006 when we doubled the shop selling space.

In 2021 The Sandford Gate Milk Co. added a purpose built 24/7 milk and milkshake vending machine in our store carpark.
