Jon has worked alongside his parents in the Forecourt industry since he was a young boy. He has opened two successful forecourts, three pharmacies, two subways, a new restaurant and a food production kitchen. In 2020, Jon and Zena Tout developed TOUT’S. They created a long-term strategy for the business, including the decision to move away from a Budgens branded fasica and develop their own brand. The vision was to offer the best convenience shopping experience anywhere in the country driven by a passion for people and food. The forecourts aim to be mostly a supermarket, fairly like a farm shop, a little like a discounter, and nothing like a corner shop. In 2022, Jon opened TOUT’S Cleeve. This 4,100 sq ft flagship store includes 5,000 products, of which 700 are from local suppliers. The hub also includes a large forecourt, a restaurant, a food preparation kitchen and a hair salon all under one roof. In 2023, TOUT’S Cleeve won The Independent Retail Chain of the Year at The Grocer Gold Awards. It also won five awards at the recent Forecourt Trader Awards, including Forecourt Trader of The Year 2023 and Best Design and Development.
