As a frequent road traveler, we can’t avoid visiting a Petrol kiosk and mart. It’s a pit stop for us to rest and relax before catching up the long journey. I recently found out the brand new retail concept of Shell Select Stores @ SH Shell Damansara Jaya which I felt in love with and I wanted to introduced to you all too.
In line with its three-year transformational programme, Welcome to Shell, which aims to deliver the best hospitality on Malaysian roads and an enhanced customer retail experience, Shell Malaysia has unveiled a brand new retail concept at its Shell Select stores, which is designed to be a food oasis for motorists, as well as announced its plans to upgrade over 100 Shell Select stores to a premium store format in 2016.
Exclusively available at top-of-the-range Shell stations, this new retail concept aims to provide customers even more varied food options in a clean, vibrant and friendly atmosphere.
The launch of the first model of this retail concept brings together popular snack and beverage franchises like Krispy Kreme(offering yummy donuts) and Boost Juice (offering Healthy fresh fruit juice) to SH Shell Damansara Jaya, complementing the freshly baked pastries and made by order coffee on-the-go already available from deli2go. There are plenty of table and chairs for customers to enjoy the break in the seating lounges with complimentary Wi-Fi and charge stations!
Not only that, it made me feels like home at the bright and clean Shell Select Store with the big smiles on the workers’ face.Most importantly, they have a really nice toilets and Suraus (prayer rooms) in store. I remember when I was a kid; I was terrific by public toilets a lot, especially the scary toilets at the back of the Petrol kiosk, it was really a nightmare for me! Thanks to Shell, their latest Select Store provides a clean toilets(with water and tissue). The blue sky and white clouds made it a fun journey to the toilets and Suraus.
“Based on our research, we discovered that at least 76% of a brand favor is due to the retail experience customers have on-site. Taking into account these findings and understanding the needs of our customers, we have launched the new retail concept for Shell Select at our flagship stations to give motorists a more pleasant experience on-site, as well as choice and value,” said Datuk Azman Ismail, Managing Director, Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. and Shell Timur Sdn. Bhd.

Each Shell Select will be individually customised with different food offerings to meet the needs of consumers, as Shell partners with a diverse range of local and international food & beverage retailers to bring together popular franchises that will complement its deli2go offerings.
