United Petroleum has grown to become one of Australia’s largest independently owned convenience retailers maintaining a presence in every state. With store numbers in excess of 260; continual investment in the retail model, site upgrades and roll out of our ‘Café Up’ program as well as continued store growth, United is now set to become one of the largest competitors within the convenience sector.

A turnkey business solution

United’s franchisees are backed by a solid company which has ensured success by strategic expansion in these related areas:

• Petrol retailing
• Convenience store retailing
• Development of branded United products
• Wholesaling of petroleum products and LPG

Marketing

As a franchisee with United, we understand the importance of continual marketing activity to stimulate and attract the attention of our existing and new customers. We help our franchisees achieve these results with a monthly merchandising program that includes planograms, negotiation of supplier deals and eye-catching point of sale material. We have also recently joined up with MYER one to become the exclusive petrol affiliate so that MYER one members can earn points when they fuel up at a United Petroleum site.

Training and field support

Every franchisee receives off-site training in our purpose-built training centre. Its part of a retail service station, so practical skills can be learned ‘on the job’, backed up by theory and classroom sessions.

Franchisees also then have a few shifts of training ‘on- site’ to ensure they’re confident about all aspects of their business as well as the routines that are currently employed in a particular store.

Our financial partnership

We offer franchisees a secured long term tenure whereby franchisees pay a franchise fee.

Franchisees pay a franchise fee and goodwill for existing sites and buy their initial stock. A cent’s per litre (CPL) commission is paid on the volume of petrol franchisees sell.

Franchisees pay a royalty on the shop turnover, which is set at a fixed percentage.
