Armadale Stores is at the heart of our community and supports many local activities, projects and groups. 

  • Community Space – The shop’s foyer is a small but great space for the community to engage with the shop, the Community Trust and each other and we regularly offer the use of it free of charge in support of local charities and groups raising funds via bake sales, raffles, etc.
  • Environment – No Waste Along with our wide range of packaging-free no waste goods, we offer a recycling facility for batteries, pill and tablet blister packs and toner cartridges
  • Food Sharing Together with Sleat Community Trust, Armadale Stores founded the Sleat Food Shed in 2020 as both a food bank for locals in need and as a way to avoid food waste. Whenever possible staff at Armadale Stores leave excess food outside the shop at the end of the day or take it to the Food Shed.

  • We also support the local Food Bank with our donation box.

STATEMENT REGARDING FUEL
Please read the following:-

The last few weeks, Armadale stores has been able to offer lower prices on fuel compared to our competitors.
We could only do this because the majority of fuel in our tanks was delivered before the unrest in the Middle East
Unlike many, we have not put our prices up for profit but instead continued offering our customers the price of the fuel in our tanks. Unfortunately we are now running out of this fuel, especially the Diesel, and are now at a stage where we will have to put Diesel prices up.
Please note, we have done all we can to offer customers a fair price. We have been exceptionally busy at the petrol station this last 2 weeks and want to give advanced warning that, at end of business day today, Tuesday 10th of March, Diesel will go up.
For now we are still competitive on petrol but that will change when that fuel runs low.
Thank you for your continued support.

Fuel and Garage

The Petrol and Diesel Fuel pumps are owned and operated by Armadale Stores, and these are available during normal trading hours above. The garage next door is a separate business operated by MacGillivray Motors. If the number of cars regularly parked at the garage is any indication, business is brisk and fully appreciated by the locals! Contact Alasdair MacGillivray on 01471 844361.

Post Office

Since 2008 the Post Office has offered the full range of services that Royal Mail offer, including limited banking services (cash withdrawals and deposits), as well as Post Office approved stationery.
