Park Garage Group extends supply deal with Texaco and adds four more sites

Park Garage Group (PGG) has agreed a long-term extension to its relationship with Valero, while also adding another four Texaco-branded locations to its portfolio. This brings the total number of Texaco-branded PGG sites to 44.

The new sites are all located in the south-east England with Park Sutton Valance, Park Beckenham and Park Tudor, based in Kent, and Park Sydenham based in London. The four sites, previously branded BP, will stock all grades of fuel including Supreme and will be supplied by Grays Terminal on the Thames.

Hemant Tandon, Park Garage Group operations director, said: “We’ve been working with Valero for more than 30 years and our relationship has incredibly strong foundations.

“When it came to extending our relationship with them and adding four new Texaco sites to the portfolio, we did not hesitate. Valero’s dedication to helping us to meet our goals has never been in doubt and I’m sure we have many more successful years ahead of us.”

Andrew Cox, Valero’s director of sales and marketing, said: “The extension and growth of our agreement with Park Garage Group has further strengthened a relationship that spans over three decades. We’re delighted to see them go from strength to strength and they can rest assured that we will continue to support their business as we have always done – with 100% commitment. It’s also great to see that the Texaco brand remains the brand of choice for the majority of the Park Garage Group’s sites.”

Hemant and Manoj Tandon of PGG are continually looking for ways to improve and modernise the services they offer and provide a better overall customer experience. As part of these improvements, they recently decided to re-brand their park & shop stores after 25 years. The new park & shop brand will be introduced onto the four new Texaco sites this year and is due to be rolled out across the remaining PGG sites over the first half of next year.

All the sites offer contactless car valet services, including a jet wash, car wash, air water tower and vacuum. The service, has seen a higher sales revenue than in previous years and has led to the service being implemented across all of the PGG sites.

PGG has also seen significant growth from the sale of vaping products. As a result, it has recently introduced vape units into a quarter of its sites and is planning to add them to the shop floor of all its sites over the next year.

Hemant explained: “We’re extremely excited to be introducing our new park & shop brand and looking forward to seeing the fresher, more modern brand image displayed across our sites. I’m sure that the new branding, alongside the strong Texaco image will be a winning combination.”
