1 Research & Reporting by Helensburgh Filling Station Cardross Road, Helensburgh, G84 7JN Customer Profiling Research Report June 2024 Page 17
Page 18
Introduction The following report outlines the findings from a customer research interviewing program carried out between Tuesday 25th June and Sunday 30th June at Helensburgh Filling Station, Cardross Road, Helensburgh, G84 7JN. The research explored the buying behaviours of persons’ resident in the locality of the site. Customers were asked to provide information on; their place of residence in relation to the premises, their means of travel to the premises and their purchasing behaviour in relation to fuel and groceries. Executive Summary Page Helensburgh Filling Station 2 Key Research Objective [Section 123(5) seeks to determine, as interpreted in the Opinion of the Inner House of the Court of Session in BP Oil UK Limited v City of Glasgow Licensing Board and City of Edinburgh Licensing Board (5th April 2011) whether a recognisable number of persons in the locality see and treat the said premises as the principal source from which they, in ordinary course, purchase groceries or fuel and who would properly consider themselves materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced were these retail facilities to no longer be provided from said premises. Materially Disadvantaged or Inconvenienced? +/- 52.2%- 62.2% +/- 72.2% +/-27.8%-37.8%+/- 47.8% **66.7% **33.3% +/- 52.2%- 62.2% +/- 72.2% +/-27.8%-37.8%+/- 47.8% Fuel, Yes Fuel, No Groceries, Yes Groceries, No Either, Yes Either, No Figure 1: Fuel base = 90 Groceries base = 3 Either base = 90 Page 18
Page 19
3 Conclusion The results show that a statistically significant* proportion of persons (62.2% (+/- 10.02%) in the locality) see and treat this service station at Cardross Road, Helensburgh, as the principal source from which they, in ordinary course, purchase groceries or fuel and would properly consider themselves materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced were these retail facilities to no longer be provided from said premises. *Statistically significant - In statistics, a result is called statistically significant if it is unlikely to have occurred by chance. The likelihood that a result or relationship is caused by something other than mere random chance. ** Groceries base size too small to apply significance testing Page 19

A quantitative research study was carried out from Tuesday 25th June and Sunday 30th June at Helensburgh Filling Station, Cardross Road, Helensburgh, G84 7JN with 452 customers (or ‘participants’). All of whom were selected as they were exiting the store. Fieldwork was stratified to cover the core hours of off sale of alcohol on the premises 10am until 10pm. The structured questionnaire (please see Appendix 2 for full questionnaire) was executed via Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) with the use of an iPad. The screen was shared with participants so that they could view all images and questions. All participants were asked to give their full postcode in order to help map travel time and distance to location. Sample Size All intercepts (interviews) were conducted as participants were exiting via the main front entrance/exit; participants were selected at random to ensure sampling confidence. Upon completion of each survey, interviewers were under strict instruction to approach the second customer that passed them. By completing 452 interviews with current service station users, we can be sure that the data and attitudes collected will be statistically representative of the customer base. Importantly this large number of ‘base’ participants allowed for statistical comparison of sub-groups. An important sub-group within this research that will form the ‘population of interest’ are participants who live within the locality of the premises AND use the garage as their principal source for purchasing Fuel or Groceries [Base – 90]. This figure represents 19.9% of the entire customer population. Population of Interest This sub-group of 90 participants will be used to answer the key objective of the research. Whether a recognisable number of persons in the locality see and treat the said premises as the principal source from which they, in ordinary course, purchase groceries or fuel and who would properly consider themselves materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced were these retail facilities to no longer be provided from said premises.

Research Findings–Geo-mapping Helensburgh Filling Station 8 All participants were asked to provide their postcode in order to allow for them to be geo-tagged on a map. Out of the 90 participants who fell into the population of interest. 90 provided a full and complete postcode. They are represented below as red icons; in some cases, the same postcode has been given and will be represented by only 1 icon. Analysis of the postcode data has shown that the participants from the ‘population of interest’ live within a locality of 0.55 miles from the service station (green icon) on average.

Research Findings – Premises Usage Helensburgh Filling Station 10 How Helensburgh Filling Station is being used 26 participants (18.7%) Use service station as a source of Groceries 138 participants (99.3%) Use service station as a source of Petrol/DERV (Fuel) Participants, who live within the locality (within 1 mile) of the service station [139], were asked how they currently use the Service Station – Figure 6. They were then asked if, in the ordinary course of their purchasing habits, they treated this Service Station as their principal source of Petrol/DERV or Groceries – Figure 7.

Research Findings – Inconvenienced Helensburgh Filling Station 11 Once the population of interest had been defined (Base 90), these participants were asked: Would you consider yourself materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced were this premises to be unable to provide you with: a) Petrol or DERV (Fuel)? b) Groceries? The results show that a statistically significant proportion of persons in the locality (62.2%) see and treat the premises as the principal source from which they, in ordinary course, purchase groceries or fuel and that they would properly consider themselves materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced were any of these retail facilities to no longer be provided from said premises. Bases Explained Fuel: Overall, 90 participants from the locality stated that they used the station as their principal source of fuel, of these participants 62.2% (56) stated that they would be materially disadvantaged if the premises could no longer provide them with fuel. Groceries: Overall, 3 participants from the locality stated that they used the station as their principal source of groceries, of these participants 66.7% (2) stated that they would be materially disadvantaged if the premises could no longer provide them with groceries.

Research Findings – Inconvenienced Helensburgh Filling Station 12 FUEL: In order to qualify the result all participants who coded yes to being materially disadvantaged if the service station could no longer provide fuel were asked ‘Would you have an alternative fuel source you could use?’ Base 56 Yes – 98.2% (55) No – 1.8% (1) Those who answered ‘Yes’ to having an alternative fuel source – 98.2% (55) were then asked: Is this alternative fuel source available to you without causing you to be disadvantaged or inconvenienced in any way? Base 55 Yes – 80.0% (44) No – 20.0% (11) Results show that the alternative fuel sources available to 98.2% of participants would cause 20.0% of this group to be inconvenienced. 21.4% (12) of those materially disadvantaged (base 56) confirmed this was still the case after considering alternatives. GROCERIES: In order to qualify the result all participants who coded yes to being materially disadvantaged if the service station could no longer provide groceries were asked ‘Would you have an alternative grocery source you could use?’ Base 2 Yes – 100% (2) No – 0.0% (0) Those who answered ‘Yes’ to having an alternative grocery source – 100% (2) were then asked: Is this alternative grocery source available to you without causing you to be disadvantaged or inconvenienced in any way? Base 2 Yes – 100% (2) No – 0.0% (0) Results show that the alternative grocery sources available to 100% of participants would cause 0.0% of this group to be inconvenienced. 0.0% (0) of those materially disadvantaged (base 2) confirmed this was still the case after considering alternatives.

Appendix 1 – Research Background 18 The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 defines premises that operate in whole or in part as a garage for the sale of petrol or derv as “excluded premises”. Subject to the provisions of section 123(5) of the Act, garage premises are “excluded premises”. Where premises are “excluded premises”, sale of alcohol is not permitted. The Client wishes to explore the motivations and buying behaviours of the consumers who visit affected forecourt premises with the purpose of ascertaining whether or not their forecourt premises fall to be determined as “excluded premises” or within the exception contain under section 123(5). Section 123(5) seeks to determine, as interpreted in the Opinion of the Inner House of the Court of Session in BP Oil UK Limited v City of Glasgow Licensing Board and City of Edinburgh Licensing Board (5th April 2011) whether a recognisable number of persons in the locality¹ see and treat the said premises as the principal source² from which they, in ordinary course³, purchase groceries⁴ or fuel and who would properly consider themselves materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced⁵ were these retail facilities to no longer be provided from said premises. Should the research prove that a substantial % of a representative sample⁶ local residents who use the outlet as their principal source of groceries and would be materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced if the outlet stopped selling groceries then it would help to form a case to include the outlet as being ‘not excluded’ from the changing legislation. ¹ Locality will be defined on a premises by premises basis. This will be determined via respondent answering what will be Q1 (How far away from this station do you live?) and will be confirmed with geo-mapping postcode software. Those living within the chosen distance will be deemed suitable to represent persons living in the locality and they will be further questioned on purchasing habits. Those living out with the chosen distance will be asked for their postcode and interview will be terminated. ²¨³ Principal source / Ordinary course; these points must be answered by asking each respondent a question that will be interpreted consistently and fully understood. Generally speaking, do you treat this premises as your principal source for a) Petrol or DERV (a full description of DERV will be provided in Showcard to help understanding) b) Groceries. A simple yes or no answer will be collected. This will provide the research with its population of interest. Page 34
Page 35
19 ⁴ Groceries; will be defined as being food or other things used within the home. ⁵ Materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced; the term materially disadvantaged is perhaps not in the general diction of the average respondent, and we would not expect it to be used by a respondent if asked to describe how they felt about a retail outlet closing. However, when it is combined with the word inconvenienced in the Q. “Would you consider yourself materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced were this premises to be unable to provide you with a) petrol (DERV) b) Groceries?”) we would expect a good understanding. An open question asking why participants would feel materially disadvantaged or inconvenienced will be asked if ‘yes’ is coded at either a) petrol (DERV) or b) groceries. ⁶ Representative sample; in quantitative market research studies which are to be conclusive it is very important that the data collected and the findings and recommendations made from the data are representative of the given population. In real terms this means that should the study be repeated at any given time then the results will be similar 95 times out of 100 and within an acceptable margin of error (+/-) %. In order to achieve this, data collection should be stratified in terms of opening hours and weekend / weekday footfall and respondent selection should be entirely random.
