Location

Wigton is a market town in North Cumbria, situated approximately 9 miles southwest of Carlisle, 20 miles northwest of Penrith and 22 miles northeast of Workington. It has a resident population of roughly 6,000, which expands to over 15,000 when including the surrounding catchments.

The market town serves as a service hub for the predominantly agricultural area. While agriculture has long played a significant role, the town's leading employer for many years - and continuing today - is Futamura factory, a manufacturer of packaging and speciality films and is located adjacent to the subject premises. Other long-established operators within Wigton include Hopes, Lidl, B&M, and Co-op.

The Filling Station sits in a prominent position, next to Futamura Factory and close to Wigton Train Station. Station Road leads directly into King Street in the town centre.
