About Petron Bulilit Gas Station

Petron Bulilit Station is still a Petron gas station, but

unlike the typically large, full-service Petron service
stations, the Bulilit version only has two or three product
pumps. The Bulilit Service Station is still engaged in the
same retail operations – buying, storing, and reselling
Petron’s petroleum products such as lubricants, fuel, LPG,
and other specialty products.

Types of Service Station

Petron offers three types of dealership outlets, namely:

1. Company-Owned Service Station (COSS)

COSS are stations built, equipped and maintained by the

company itself on either leased lots or company-owned. A
usual COSS has complete station facilities including
driveway, service bays, salesroom, and convenience
facilitates.

The franchise investment and operating capital needed

ranges from P4,000,000 to P9,000,000 depending on the
size and array of services offered by the station. This
covers stocks, tools and equipment like wheel balancers,
lubricators, wheel aligner, and for granting credit,
accommodations.

Further, the dealer pays a monthly rental for the service

station facilities.

2. Dealer-Owned Service Station (DOSS)

DOSS are stations built and financed by the dealer who is

usually the lot’s owner. The company provides the major
equipment such as dispensing pumps, underground tanks,
lifters, and compressors. DOSS, in general, are smaller
outlets limited to filling activities. However, there are large
DOSS found in urban areas.

3. Petron Bulilit or Micro Filling Station (MFS)

Petron Bulilit Stations, or Micro Filling Station (MFS), are

service stations built and designed to cater to areas with
untapped fuel demand. MFS outlets generate an average of
80 to 40 thousand liters a month. The cost of investment for
MFS is minimal as the company shoulders the cost of
signage and equipment, while the dealer invests in the
station’s construction cost.

Dealership Information

The dealership contract with the company covers a

minimum period of three (3) years. This contract is
renewable for another three-year period based on the
dealer’s performance. However, the dealer cannot transfer
the dealership to anyone by succession, assignment, sale,
etc. Such right rests only with Petron.

Application and Selection Process

Below is an overview of the selection process for potential

dealers of dealer-owned and micro-filling service stations:
