At the end of 2013, 439 service stations were operating in the LOTOS network, including 151 stations in the LOTOS Optima economy segment and 14 service stations in Motorway Service Areas. LOTOS remains Poland’s fastest growing network of service stations.

“For the LOTOS network, 2013 was the third year of dynamic growth in the economy segment and in the domestic retail fuel market,” summarized Paweł Lisowski, President of LOTOS Paliwa. “We plan to continue the implementation of Grupa LOTOS's strategy to achieve a 10% share in that market by 2015. Further development in the premium and economy segments will play a major role in this process.”

It should be noted that LOTOS Optima stations, offering prime quality fuel at optimum prices, have been enthusiastically received by customers, while our attractive terms of cooperation have been drawing new franchisees.

“The economy segment is growing mainly organically and provides an alternative to the premium segment,” said Jan Michalak, Director for Infrastructure and Development at LOTOS Paliwa. “In response to the market's needs we are actively searching for locations where economy service stations are better suited to the local market than the premium stations.” In 2011, the LOTOS Optima network was composed of 50 service stations. In 2012, there were already 101 service stations in operation, and by the end of 2013 their number had reached 151.

LOTOS Paliwa is responsible for the development and management of the country-wide LOTOS retail network, which comprises 439 stations, located in urban areas and near major thoroughfares. The latter, thanks to spacious parking lots, serve as excellent rest stops for travellers. The company is also carrying out service station development projects at motorways and expressways as part of Motorway Service Areas and developing its LOTOS Optima economy retail network.

LOTOS Paliwa has in place a quality management system certified by PCBC S.A. with respect to wholesale and supply to service stations of gasolines and diesel oils for motor vehicles, as well as wholesale of light fuel oils.
