As a core part of the bp group redefining convenience strategy, bp Southern Africa (bpSA) together with its convenience partner Pick n Pay, launches a first for the South African market today: a wine to-go offer through the Pick n Pay Express forecourt convenience store!
Speaking this afternoon from Pick n Pay Express at bp Radiokop, which is the first site to launch the wine offer wine, bpSA head of convenience, Belinda Petersen said the company continuously explores opportunities to keep on top of trends to help deliver a superior customer experience, whether in-store or virtually.
Wine to go
Having recently been granted a liquor licence, bp is excited to be adding wine to its Pick n Pay Express product range.
With delivered convenience being a central pillar in the bpSA Convenience Strategy, we are also exploring opportunities for customers to receive their wine directly at their doorstep at the touch of a button through food delivery Apps.
“Customers’ expectations for safety and convenience have amplified, and in adapting our convenience offers we always have in mind - to respond to customer demands in a responsible way. Key to this is strict adherence to laws governing the sale of liquor, including the level 3 restrictions as we introduce the wine offer.
bp Radiokop Pick n Pay first to pop the cork
Within the strict confines of the Covid 19 regulatory requirements, the Pick n Pay Express store at bp Radiokop in the Westrand is the first to have wine out on shelves, with planned rollout of the offer to selected bp sites throughout the country.
We invite customers to ‘pop’ in and grab a bottle…. and pair it with our perfect snack promos or tasty nibbles from Wild Bean Café – we’ve got you covered.
