OREANDA-NEWS. October 22, 2010. The Express Cafe project started at one of the TNK retail sites of TNK-BP in the city of Saratov. The company offered its customers a new service format having opened a bistro with a wide range of hot meals at service station No.24 on the Ust-Kurdyumsk highway in Saratov, reported the press-centre of TNK-BP.

The Express Cafe format is new for the fuel market of Saratov. The main purpose of this project is expansion of services and satisfaction of retail network customers. Drivers are now offered a high-quality line of fast food from one of the world fast food leaders, including beverages, pastry, and other foods.

The project is being implemented in the framework of a program aimed at integration of the TNK brand into the regional fuel market. The TNK fuel brand is mostly intended for massive driving. In addition to excellent fuel of guaranteed high quality and accurate fueling, frequent visitors of service stations requiring physical and emotional recharging will be offered a wide range of services and goods to help them on the road.

Emil Sapunkov, General Director of Saratovnefteprodukt: “The TNK retail network is already providing extra services for drivers, such as addition of water, inflation of tyres, and vacuum cleaning. Now serving of hot meals will be added to this list. The new offer is aimed at better satisfaction of our customers’ needs. I am sure that this offer will be welcome by motorists and strengthen the TNK brand in the Saratov Region. Moreover, we are going to integrate this project at other retail sites. Our goal is to provide our customers with high-quality fuel, a high level of services, and a widest possible range of extra services.”
