Vivo Energy - the company that distributes and markets Shell-branded fuels and lubricants across Africa – this week opened its first quick service restaurants in Namibia at the Shell Service Station in the Northern Industrial Area.
The service station, known as the Nabta Service Station, is situated in Dr Michael de Kock Street
Vivo and Innscor recently announced the extension of the existing partnership to add quick service restaurants at a number of its service stations in Namibia and Botswana.
Already in a relationship in Kenya and Ghana, the initiative sees Vivo Energy becoming the master franchisee for Innscor’s quick service restaurants in Namibia and Botswana - improving the convenience retail offer for Shell customers.
David Mockford, who is the Head of Convenience Retail for Vivo Energy, said: “We understand that our customers are looking for more than just a fill-up when they drive onto our forecourts and that, ultimately, it’s not just about the quality fuels and lubricants we sell to our customers, but about delivering a complete service station experience.”
“Across our network we are looking to upgrade our service stations to a modern format and that’s why this partnership with Innscor - with its well-known and high quality quick service restaurant brands - is so important to us.”
The partnership sees Vivo Energy add quick service restaurants - including Chicken Inn, Pizza Inn, Creamy Inn and Galito’s Flame Grilled Chicken to a number of the Shell service stations in Namibia and Botswana.
Another quick service restaurant will open in Namibia in the coming weeks, with a further eight in Namibia and six in Botswana planned for later this year.
Basil Dionisio, who is Executive Director of Innscor International Franchising LTD added: “We are delighted that Vivo Energy has become the master franchisee for our quick service restaurant brands in Namibia and Botswana, allowing them to operate these brands at Shell service station sites. It is clear that this will benefit customers, giving them more convenience, quality and choice. We already have a great relationship with Vivo Energy and are looking forward to seeing this grow over the coming months.”
Managing Director of Vivo Energy Namibia, Johan Grobbelaar reaffirmed Vivo Energy Namibia’s commitment to its customers: “We currently have 45 Shell service stations in Namibia and are committed to bringing high-quality fuels and lubricants and an exceptional retail experience to our customers. 11 of our service stations currently offer shopping convenience with Shell Select stores and I am excited to be bringing quick service restaurants to most of these.”
