It has more than 5,000 gas stations at present,nearly half of which are directly run by the firm, while the remaining arefranchised.
At a shareholders’ meeting last April,Petrolimex Director General Pham Duc Thanh said the plan needs thoroughconsideration because the group’s gas stations currently only sell its ownproducts like insurance, lubricants and liquid detergents.
In 2017, Petrolimex opened a convenience storenamed P-Mart at a filling station in Hoai Duc district of Hanoi, sellinglubricants, detergents, beverages and processed food, among other items.
However, this model hasn’t been expanded as yet.
