BP runs 530 gas stations in Mexico

BP reported that three years after the opening of its first service station in Mexico, the company operates a total of 530 gas stations located in 29 states.

BP reported that three years after the opening of its first fuel station in Mexico, following the liberalization of the hydrocarbon sector in the country, the company runs a total of 530 sites distributed throughout 29 states of the country.

The company said in a press release that its fuel stations serve more than 700,000 customers daily, which ranks it as the biggest private brand in terms of number of sites, apart from state-owned Pemex.

"We are very happy with the results obtained so far. We were the first international company to enter the gasoline market in Mexico and we have a long term commitment to the country and Mexicans," said the general director of BP fuels, Alvaro Granada. The executive added that so far BP has generated 1,300 jobs at its fuel stations, with nearly 40% of the workforce being women.
