Ukraine: OKKO pilots first drive thru service

Newly introduced OKKO Drive concept will be rolled out across OKKO station network nationwide if the test in the Lviv station proves successful.

Ukraine’s OKKO filling station network is piloting the company’s first drive thru service at a fuel station in Lviv, Ukraine. The newly introduced OKKO Drive concept will be further rolled out across OKKO station network in the country if the test proves successful.

“We are currently working out all the processes and will monitor customer feedback at the site in Lviv. If this option is of interest to our customers, we will possibly consider expanding it in the construction of new filling stations and in those being revamped,” said Operational Director of the OKKO network, Olena Voroshilo.

“To pick up ready meals, all you have to do is go to the menu board to make a choice, then to the delivery window to pay in a convenient way and pick up the packaged order,” Voroshilo added.

Besides the OKKO Drive experience, new Lviv station features eight fuel dispensers serving five types of fuel, including the Pulls 95 and Pulls Diesel brands. Plans are laid out for introducing a natural gas vehicle filling point, as well as an electric vehicle charger, according to a company’s press release.

A subsidiary of the OKKO Group (Galnaftogaz Concern), OKKO is today one of the largest filling networks in Ukraine with over 410 facilities. OKKO also operates the largest network of on-road catering establishments under the brands Hot café, A la minute, Pasta Mia and Meiwei.
