Future filling stations are evolving into mobility hubs offering more than just fuel, including EV charging, car-sharing, and retail. Under that development, fuel stations offer a lot of room for further technological innovation. Flexible IT systems are crucial for supporting these expanded services. These hubs will become key points for various mobility needs and social activities, enhancing their role in urban mobility networks. Read more on that in Retail Optimiser report and on the necessity of flexible and integrated IT for this transformation. With GK Drive we have more than 3 years’ experience in the US-market to combining retail and fuel sales. And we see also for European market there is a notable trend of increasing non-fuel sales at gas stations, driven by changing consumer habits and the rise of electric vehicles. The percentage of revenue from non-fuel items, such as snacks, coffee, and convenience store products, is growing. In 2022, McKinsey reported that many European fuel retailers are adapting by enhancing their non-fuel offerings. Non-fuel retail, which includes convenience items and services, is becoming a significant part of their business strategy, expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Therefore, GK is innovating technology for the fuel sector, keeping an eye on changing consumer habits, convenience store needs, as well as flexibility and hardware independence.
