The expansion will start with the opening of around 150 sites by the end of 2025, including more than 100 in Poland in partnership with grocer Auchan.
BP plans to add about 150 strategic convenience sites to its global network through 2025, according to the company’s recent Net Zero Progress Update 2024 report. Between 2025 and 2030, the energy and retail company plans to add another 500 locations.
The bulk of the initial 150 locations are expected to be developed in Poland, where BP has extended its partnership with grocer Auchan to open more than 100 EasyAuchan locations through 2025.
Those plans will continue what has been a busy few years of c-store growth, as BP has grown from 1,650 convenience sites in 2019 to 2,850 in 2023.
The EasyAuchan locations will not only offer a broad grocery assortment, but also incorporate BP’s coffeehouse brand Wild Bean Cafe.
In tandem with growing its strategic convenience presence, BP also reiterated plans to boost its electrical vehicle charging network. The company plans to more than triple the number of global EV chargers available at its sites, from 29,000 in 2023 to 100,000 in 2030.
London-based BP owns a variety of convenience retailing brands across the U.S. and internationally. Besides its own branded stores, BP’s umbrella also includes Thorntons, Amoco, Ampm and TravelCenters of America. Its U.S. headquarters are in Houston.
