- Logista Retail will manage the operation of products sold at 100 Q8 service stations until 2024.
Logista Retail and Q8 have signed an agreement whereby the Logista subsidiary, which specialises in the wholesale distribution of convenience products, will be responsible for supplying the shops in the Kuwait Petroleum group’s energy company’s service station network. This is a comprehensive agreement for the distribution of products for sale and self-consumption, which extends to 100 Q8 stations.
The agreement, signed until 2024, covers category management services with the various manufacturers, sales management of the point of sale with GPVs, order reception, preparation and delivery at the point of sale, an after-sales service and financial management for the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.
