From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RS McColl is a Scottish newsagent company named after Robert Smyth McColl, who was a professional footballer. It was founded in 1901 by McColl and his brother Tom ^[1].

In 1998 RS McColl became part of TM Retail when Forbuoys (a subsidiary of TM Retail) acquired Martin Retail Group, creating Great Britain's largest chain of newsagents. In addition to RS McColl, TM Retail's other trading names include; Forbuoys, Martin's, Dillons (purchased from One Stop Stores Ltd following the takeover by tesco of parent company T&S Stores), McColls and More.

In England and Wales, the TM Retail name has been replaced by Martin McColl Ltd. the various stores are all being rebranded as either Martin's or McColl's, with the Martin McColls, Martins the Newsagents, More, Forbuoys and Dillons brands being ended.
