A Mace shop in Northampton

Spotting a Mace convenience shop in Northampton.

You don't see many Mace shops these days. There was one at a petrol station I used to drive past in Manchester, but I haven't seen any others in a while.

The Mace brand has had several owners over the years and the Great Britain version of the brand is currently owned by Bestway Wholesale after it acquired Costcutter which had bought the Mace brand from Palmer and Harvey.

According to Wikipedia, the Mace brand disappeared from Great Britain in 2025.

While not active in Great Britain, you can still find Mace shops in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

If still there, the Mace in Northampton may be the last one standing in GB!
