Petroprix stands up to Cepsa's dominance in the south of Gran Canaria

People think with their pockets and tourists who use rent a car when they arrive in the south of Gran Canaria already know these schemes. Petroprix, which does not advertise except by word of mouth, which is why the Las Palmas media has not reported on this matter, has done an unusual thing: not open in the south of Gran Canaria in an industrial area but in an urban center: Mayor Enrique Jorge, in San Fernando de Maspalomas. The new station is equipped with at least four pumps that will offer both 95 gasoline and diesel and will have multifunctional additives that increase the performance and cleanliness of the engine. It is the same fuel that other companies have but they have many lower costs such as stores and self-service. 

The traditional Cepsa, Disa, Repsol and BP operate in the southern area of ​​Gran Canaria. But the low cost that was in industrial areas like Arinaga is already there "Petroprix stations are located on small plots. In addition, we do not put stores in the stations and we centralize the entire development so that it is 100% our own, with manufacturing areas. Everything This allows us to save costs when undertaking new projects, transferring these savings directly to the consumer," says the company,

Last year, Petroprix exceeded 2022 million euros in sales in 700, double that of 2021. These figures were a record coinciding with the company's tenth anniversary. In addition, the Andalusian company registered more than 20 new openings in Andalusia, Madrid, Castilla y León, Galicia, the Basque Country, Valencia and the Canary Islands, including San Fernando de Maspalomas. The year 2022 was marked by the rise in fuel prices in Spain. The largest price increase was in February when the Russian invasion of Ukraine occurred and lasted throughout the year. The company insists that the low prices are the result of its lower cost structure.
