Vivo Energy Uganda opened seven new Shell service stations in Uganda, bringing the total country network number to 140 service stations to date. The seven new service stations are spread across Uganda and are a key part of making Shell fuels and lubricants accessible to every Ugandan motorist to make their journeys better.
The opening of the seven new stations was celebrated with a ceremony officiated by the Executive Vice President East & South Region for Vivo Energy Group, David Mureithi, in the presence of the media, Shell retailers and top management of Vivo Energy including the Managing Director of Vivo Energy Uganda Gilbert Assi. It was held at Shell Kyengera.
Speaking during the opening of the new sites David Mureithi said, “In a bid to become Africa’s most respected energy business, it is important that we are accessible to every customer. Since 2014, Vivo Energy has added 35 new Shell service stations to the Uganda Retail Network. This means more Ugandans have access to Shell fuels and lubricants, as well as other services available at these stations.”
Shell service stations are meeting various needs of customers, who want convenience and quality under one roof. “At Vivo Energy we understand that customers are looking for more than just a fill-up when they drive to the Shell forecourts and it’s not just about the quality fuels and lubricants sold to the customers, but about delivering a complete service station experience. We are investing significantly to make this ambition a reality,” added Mureithi.
Vivo Energy has also partnered with local and international restaurants to offer additional services to its customers across Africa, aimed at tapping into the growing middle class.
Already, the company has partnered with restaurants such as – Java coffee house, Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Pizza Hut Express, Prunes, and Café Pap. Other services available at the Shell service stations are pharmacies, insurance, tire centers and financial services.
