Gull Opens 49th

Convenience and value for the residents
of Bay of Plenty district Whakamarama
Auckland, 15 March – Gull Petroleum today announced further retail growth with the opening of its 49th Site in Whakamarama, 15km north of central Tauranga on State Highway 2.
The site is opening 10am tomorrow (Friday 16th March) and will celebrate with even further discounts off already competitive pricing, with Regular 91 at less than $2 per litre to promote the newest Gull site.
Located in a previously closed oil major’s site, the unmanned station will enable Gull to offer even more drivers competitive fuel prices at the pump, says Retail Manager Graham Stirk.
“We are pleased and proud to be part of the Whakamarama community and to offer local drivers and visitors to the area increased fuel choice. The advantage of our unmanned sites is that people can purchase fuel 24/7, as long as they pay with an EFTPOS, debit or credit card. We’ve also reduced time at the pump by installing hi-arm, hi-flow nozzles so that larger commercial vehicles can re-fill quickly
“Gull is committed to delivering value to kiwi motorists and our regular discount days offer savings to our customers. As a family owned company, and New Zealand’s first independent fuel retailer we’re doing what we can to keep fuel prices affordable,” says Stirk.
