A long relationship with Forte has given Shell a strong presence on A-roads and, until recently, motorways.

This stemmed from them being the forecourt brand used by Welcome Break at sites they managed, but since Welcome Break were taken over by forecourt rivals Applegreen in 2018, Shell's branding has been slowly removed.

Shell continue to lease the forecourts at some Roadchef and Extra sites. On A-roads, they can be found at many former Forte sites (most of which were previously known for their Little Chef restaurants), as well as the former Total forecourts.

A lot of Shell forecourts are operated by Shell themselves, usually using the 'Select' (or 'Shell Select') brand for Shell's larger convenience stores at filling station forecourts (some smaller stations still use the old brand Shell Shop).

Shell sell various brands including own-brand Deli by Shell (formerly deli2go). Many of these stores are co-branded alongside Little Waitrose, Budgens and Co-op Food, or stock Co-op products. All shops include Costa Express machines.

Shell once took an interest in becoming a full motorway service area operator. They examined the case for running Burton-in-Kendal and Tebay services entirely on their own in 1966. They developed Chester services in 1995.

Ireland

Shell used to operate across the Republic of Ireland, but these forecourts were sold to Topaz following the controversy surrounding their involvement to and response to the Corrib gas controversy and Rossport protests.
