In October 2004, SPC boosted its retail business by acquiring BP’s 28 service stations, making it the third-largest retailer in Singapore with a network of 38 service stations. In 2008, SPC became the first retailer in Singapore to launch drive-through ATMs and promote out-of-home digital advertising at its service stations. SPC was also the first on mainland Singapore to provide Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). SPC continued to innovate with the launch of Singapore’s first drive-through takeaway food outlet at a service station in 2008.
