Pick ‘n Pay has not been very active at petrol stations such as the Woolworths branches at Engen and some Caltex branches which have Fruit & Veg City stores at the services stations. Pick ‘n Pay is now going to roll out mini Pick ‘n Pay branches at 120 BP petrol stations over the next 5 years. Woolworths and Engen currently have 42 stores and are planning another 34, but it clearly means that Pick ‘n Pay intends to be a big player in this market – which quite frankly, for consumers it is quite convenient late at night when you run out of milk and are on your way home and can fill up with petrol and buy some household goods at the same time.

I dont think it will do as good as woolworths. There already fueling stations that supply the same products you get at Pick n Pay ie. Bread and milk. The reason behind Woolworths, success is that they offer unique products that such as their tasty treats and convienance foods.Thats where Pick n Pay will definetly fall short, and could end up a distaster. I would suspect BP would only enter the contract as the upgrade would be done or compentsated by Pick n Pay.

My boyfriend mentioned this to me about a week or so ago. He works for one of the Support Bakeries that bake for PnP. I think they're going to do great and I would definitely make use of these stores.

I think that is very convenient! It beats buying bread from the Garage because goodness knows how fresh those are. I enjoy going to the woolies at the garage it convenient but i def think picknpay would do better, with its low prices and more stores. Great idea! I wonder if it would be safe....
