WARSAW--Poland's largest fuel refiner, PKN Orlen SA (PKN.WA), is
always interested in buying gas stations and will look at a chain
of Polish self-service stations that Finnish oil refiner Neste Oil
Oyj (NES1V.HE) is considering selling, Chief Financial Officer
Slawomir Jedrzejczyk said Thursday.
He said that from PKN Orlen's point of view, it would be
important for the locations of the Neste stations to allow the
construction of small grocery stores that are typical of Orlen
stations.
The sale of non-fuel products, like snacks and alcohol, has been
a profitable strategy for PKN Orlen stations in recent years.
