PetrolPlaza Talks #7: Convenience & Gas Stations in Latin America
The seventh episode of PetrolPlaza Talks will bring together ATIO Group, Barcos & Rodados and Onexpo Nacional to discuss the development of the convenience and store segment at Latin American service stations.
The next PetrolPlaza Talks session will explore the development of convenience stores at Latin American service stations. In line with other international markets, the last few years have seen an increase in convenience, on-the-go food and non-fuel services in several markets across the continent. The transition from the classic petrol station model to multi-service stations with a broad offer has also been supported by strong technological innovations.
Convenience store chains have begun to increase their presence in the Mexican market while innovative operators such as Terpel, Primax, Copec and Barcos & Rodados are shifting the model in Chile, Peru, Colombia and Paraguay.
To learn more about these changes and how they affect suppliers and operators, we will be joined by Pablo Gualdi (CEO of ATIO Group), Roberto Díaz de León (President of Onexpo Nacional and CEO of Combured) and Carmela Pomata Crosa (Mark. Manager at Barcos & Rodados).
The Zoom session is free of charge but places are limited. Those who cannot enter will be able to watch it live on YouTube.
