Supermarket giant Tesco is running a trial of its One-Stop brand at its Dudley and Cannock service stations, with plans for a full roll-out across its 440 forecourt sites upon the trial's conclusion. However, although the One-Stop format will expand Tesco's convenience offering at its fuel outlets, it may not necessarily help Tesco benefit from the growing food service opportunity.

TOTAL and ERG are to merge their fuel retail and refining operations in Italy, to form a joint venture known as TotalERG. The deal will enable both companies to cut production costs and minimize distribution expenses, two areas that are both vital for survival in a service station market characterized by a high density of sites and low fuel throughputs.

Chevron is believed to be in negotiations with the UK's largest independent fuel retailer, Malthurst Fuels, to sell part of its Texaco branded service station network in Ireland. After reporting a loss in 2008, it is possible that Chevron, along with ExxonMobil, the only other oil major left in the country, could follow Shell and Statoil's decision to exit the Irish market altogether.

One in three UK (and one in five European) motorists are reducing their car journeys in order to slash their fuel spend. The trend, driven by the global financial crisis and high pump prices, has led to a shift in consumer behavior, and has tested the resilience of the fuel retail sector. Supermarkets, yet again, are gaining ground on their oil company competitors.

Following the success of its pilot store in Cardiff, Starbucks has partnered with Euro Garages to open 30 drive-through coffee shops across the UK, at both service stations and as standalone sites. Starbucks' brand value, the convenience of the drive-through format, and a growing trend of eating-on-the-go among young consumers suggest that this collaboration has every chance of being a success.

With players such as TOTAL and Shell planning to close sites in rural areas, the French service station network could see a 7% contraction over the next two years. The closures, incited by environmental protection regulations, may require fuel retailers to focus more on non-fuel offerings in order to balance out the increased cost of refueling.

According to the Energy Institute, the number of UK service stations dropped significantly in 2009, while fuel sales declined by 2.4% over 2008 figures. The situation for fuel retailers is set to remain testing throughout 2010, as high global oil prices and an increase in taxation will further erode fuel margins, which will inevitably lead to more service station closures.

The news that oil giant Shell is to sell its network of Finnish service stations comes on the back of the revelation that the firm is to withdraw from a third of its fuel retail markets globally. Datamonitor predicts that, due to the concentrated nature of the market, it is unlikely that one of the leading players in Finland will purchase the Shell network.
