Shell Philippines revamps stations in Cebu
The oil company unveiled the rebuild of its forecourts and five new additions after the Typhoon Odette hit the city and demolished the sites.
After Typhoon Odette rampaged through the city of Cebu, Philippines, Shell managed to rebuild its service stations destroyed by the calamity. The energy company is committed to bring back each of the forecourts devastated during the disaster in the near future and has recently opened five new locations.
Despite the fuel retail network of the firm being operational only two weeks after the calamity, Shell decided to revamp several of the affected sites. This proved to also be an opportunity to upgrade and, if needed, redesign each installation, with new equipment and a renovated layout for some of them.
Shell Robinsons is an example of that transformation, reopened recently after suffering some of the worst consequences of the Typhoon Odette. Apart from this rebuilding process, five new service stations were opened across the city to expand the reach of the company and support citizens after such a tragedy.
“We wish to send a heartfelt message to the community that the company is here to stay and continues to be a partner that Cebuanos can rely on for quality products and services for Cebuanos and tourists,” says Llex Denia, District Manager for VisMin in Cebuano, according to a report by local news site Cebu Daily News.
Shell extended its footprint with five new stations five months after the typhoon. With these openings, the company went beyond its recovery commitment and extended its support for greater development in the region. One of these inaugurations includes a new “Site of the Future” in the Visayas, a new design focused on the customer that offers a relaxed interior that invites drivers to extend their stay and specialised site features built with sustainability in mind.
