Petro pavilion offers franchising opportunities

MANILA, Philippines - Various sectors of the widely diversified and highly profitable fuel industry are moving with the tide of successful franchised businesses by opening up to new investors via franchising or dealerships.

These lucrative investment opportunities will be showcased at the fuel industry’s own Petro and Energy Pavilion occupying an entire hall of the SMX Convention Center as part of the Franchise Asia Philippines 2013 Expo, which will be held on July 19 to 21.

The pavilion will serve as a one-stop shop for all investment activities in any of the numerous fuel and energy-related businesses to be exhibited during the expo’s three-day run.

Among such businesses are petro filling stations, equipment and related products, renewable energy sources, fuel conservation devices, auto care services, and many other technologies and innovative systems that constitute the ever-growing energy supply and value chain, including retail spaces for franchised food and non-food consumer outlets catering to motorists.

This sector of the economy enjoys a stable and consistently rising market demand since it is centered on energy that powers industries, vehicles and households all the way to the kitchen, practically driving infrastructure development nationwide for the transport of goods and people by land, sea and air.

The petro pavilion is part of one-stop shop international franchise expo that will feature international and homegrown successful franchise brands in the food, retail, and service sectors providing investment opportunities at all levels, from micro to large. Special areas are also dedicated for budding business at the expo’s Incubation Center and Emerging Concepts area which PFA has allotted for MSME franchises and other “highly franchisable” concepts. Many suppliers and other related products and services will also be showcased in the three-day expo.

On July 19 and 20, a Seminar on How to Start Your Own Petro Business Franchise or Dealership will be offered to those interested to own a gasoline station at the Seminar room inside Hall 1 of Petro Pavilion.

Participating in this year’s petro pavilion are SeaOil Philippines Inc., Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc., PTT Philippines Corp., Total Philippines Corp., and Unioil Petroleum Philippines Inc.
