Not feeling well, yet too far from the hospital? Visit a Shell service station. Your doctor has been brought nearer. Access to pharmacy and health hub services to Ugandans is still a big challenge, and Vivo Energy Uganda has signed a partnership agreement with GoodLife Pharmacy to widen the availability of these services for customers. The partnership will see the GoodLife pharmacy stores set up within existing Shell service stations across the country.
With the convenience-seeking customer numbers steadily growing, Vivo Energy Uganda is in the process of revamping the existing Shell service stations to not only include high-quality fuels and lubricants, but also offer services including shops, quick service restaurants, pharmacies, ATMs, tyre centres and car wash facilities.
During the inauguration of the partnership at Shell Namirembe, Gilbert Assi, Managing Director Vivo Energy Uganda said that Vivo Energy has invested in convenience retailing to offer a wider range of services to both customers who fuel and service their vehicles at Shell service stations, as well as walk in customers.
“The partnership with GoodLife Pharmacy continues to reaffirm what we have always said and believed in – that convenience retail is an extension of our core business at Shell service stations”.
He also thanked the partners and staff who have made it possible to deliver convenient solutions to our mutual customers.
