The concept is actually a store operating in those stations where customers can buy things like cheese and cold cuts after having bought gas.
MOL has more than 200 filling stations in Romania, which account for almost 19% of the fuel retail market.
“MOL group has a network of more than 2,000 gas stations and more than 200 stations in Romania,” MOL Romania officials said.
MOL stations have non-fuel retail spaces where customers can buy various quality products. Fresh Corner puts more emphasis on fresh products and on the day-to-day shopping. MOL Romania ended 2016 with about 50 gas stations implementing the concept and the plan is to have 100 such stations by the end of 2017, MOL Romania officials added.
Fresh Corner operates like a convenience store where customers can buy staple, such as rice, flour, vegetable oil, cold cuts, milk and cheese, MOL officials said.
