Hamilton-based fuel supplier Waitomo Group has opened its first fuel stop in Papamoa, its third expansion this year.
Located on Te Puke Highway, the unmanned 24-hour fuel stop will offer retail and commercial customers unleaded 91, premium 95 and diesel. GoClear is also available to diesel vehicle users. It opened on Monday, March 11.
Waitomo Group manging director Jimmy Ormsby says commercial and population growth in the area over the last few years made Papamoa an attractive option for expansion.
Where there’s Kiwis who want top performance, a fairer price for their fuel, delivered by great people, Waitomo will be there.
“It’s the same formula our 100 per cent family-owned and operated business has operated on for the last 70 years to fuel Kiwi success,” Ormsby says.
Waitomo also operates a fuel stop in Mount Maunganui, and has recently opened a site in Rotorua and Hamilton CBD.
Further sites in Wellington, Upper Hutt and Christchurch will open later this year, delivering price competition and choice to motorists paying some of the highest fuel prices in New Zealand.
“For a family-owned, Kiwi business, we’re sure creating some big waves around the country with our Waitomo price. That’s how we like it,” Ormsby says.
All new Waitomo fuel stops are fitted with vapour recovery technology, a system not widely used in New Zealand that sucks petrol vapour that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere back into the pump.
