Vivo
Energy Ghana, the company that distributes and markets Shell branded fuels and
lubricants, in partnership with Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), a fast food
restaurant chain has opened its first drive-through outlet in Kumasi.
The
outlet, which was inaugurated by the first lady, Lady Julia Osei Tutu, wife of
Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Asantehene is located at Asokwa Shell Service Station and
will offer customers food including quick service chicken meals, salads, side
dishes and desserts.
At
the event to officially inaugurate the restaurant, the Managing Director of
Vivo Energy Ghana, Mr. Ebenezer Faulkner said we provided this because we
realize that our customers were looking for more than just a filling station.
Our
objective is not just about the quality fuels and lubricants we sell to our
customers, but it’s also about delivering a complete service station
experience.
‘‘Across
our network we are looking to upgrade our service stations to a modern format
and that is why implemented this partnership with KFC. KFC is well-known and
high quality quick service restaurant brands and it’s so important to us,’’ Mr.
Faulkner stated.
He
said the partnership will see Vivo Energy strategically add KFC quick service
restaurants to a number of the Shell service stations in Ghana to offer
customers the best and most memorable convenience retail experience.
Mr.
Faulkner added: “Our service stations are places where customers can go for all
their convenient shopping and relaxation needs. We have created an environment
that is extremely comfortable and attractive for them to get out of their
vehicles to fulfill needs such as the need for a snack, to pick up some
groceries, or to use the washroom.’’
The
Managing Director of KFC Africa, Mr. Doug Smart said that KFC is delighted to
have partnered with Vivo Energy Ghana allowing it to operate KFC outlets at
Shell service stations in Ghana.
“This
partnership will benefit customers, giving them more convenience, quality and
choice. We have a great relationship with Vivo Energy Ghana and we are looking
forward to increase our footprint in more Shell service stations”, he said.
