OMV Petrom, the largest energy company in Southeast Europe and Auchan Retail Romania, the Romanian subsidiary of Auchan Retail, one of the world’s largest food trade groups, announces agreement to expand partnership to open convenience stores MyAuchan at Petrom distribution stations.

The existing store area within the fuel distribution station will be redesigned and will offer customers the MyAuchan convenience store. Store refurbishments are scheduled to be completed over the next few years.

Depending on the area of the station, up to 2,500 products from a wide range will be found on the shelves: from food products, including fresh products, fruits and vegetables, to non-food products, such as cosmetics, detergents, baby products and car accessories, at MyAuchan prices that are clearly advantageous for the trade of this type carried out in gas stations.

Petrom stations will enter an extensive modernization process which, in addition to arranging MyAuchan stores, includes the replacement of visual identity elements, as well as exterior works in the area of pumps and adjacent services (car wash, LPG supply).

In addition, within five pilot distribution stations, fast lanes will be created, respectively pumps that can be paid directly with the card or with the mobile phone.

„Extending the partnership with Auchan Retail Romania to the entire network of Petrom stations is an important step in the development of the Petrom brand and a landmark in our strategy to improve the experience of our customers. With a single stop, our customers will be able to do their shopping, along with refueling, saving time. This approach is unique and innovative on the Romanian market and meets the expectations of the modern consumer and the young generation with a dynamic and alert daily program,” said Radu Căprău, member of the OMV Petrom Board responsible for Downstream Oil activity.
