PTT launches premium stations in Quezon City

MANILA, Philippines – PTT Philippines Corp., the local unit of Thailand’s largest petroleum company, is going bigger this year in terms of its retail network expansion, starting with two premium stations in Quezon City.

In a statement, PTT Philippines president and CEO Sukanya Seriyothin said the launch of bigger service stations will make it similar to those in Thailand.

“We’re going to that direction of making all our stations premium in terms of the design, in order to be consistent with our corporate looks that are similar to our stations in Thailand,” she said.

A premium station has a bigger area compared to a standard station and carries a different canopy design with contoured signage compared with the standard that has a flat signage. 

“But all these stations, whether standard or premium, offer the same premium-grade fuel and lubricant products aside from the good services that we also provide,” Seriyothin said.

On Tuesday, PTT launched its Belfast and Regalado stations in Fairview, Quezon City, bringing the total number of stations in the country to 96.

The PTT Belfast and PTT Regalado are both classified under premium stations, designed similar to PTT stations in Thailand which offer high quality petroleum products and services, including clean restrooms.

In Metro Manila, PTT now has 12 service stations with PTT Park ‘n Fly as its flagship in the South and EDSA Veterans in the North.

Meanwhile, PTT’s expansion in the country will be highlighted by the opening of its biggest station in the Philippines, the two-hectare PTT SCTEX in Concepcion, Tarlac, which is expected to open middle of this year.

The SCTEX station will be PTT’s second Platinum station in the Philippines, next to PTT Lucena that was opened last year. 

A Platinum station has much bigger land area and designed with a park concept that is exactly the same with Thailand’s Platinum stations.
