South Australian convenience chain On The Run (OTR) starts the new year with four recently opened stores setting the tone for the year ahead. The stores located in the South Australian towns of Kapunda, Angle Vale, Evanston and Peterhead offer a range of services 24/7 and opened at the end of 2016.
All four newly opened sites offer BP branded fuel, a range of supermarket essential items, locally roasted barista-made coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice made daily as well as plenty of food and drink options. The Angle Vale and Peterhead stores also offer car wash facilities and dog wash is available at Peterhead.
OTR have developed an attractive store format with a clean, modern aesthetic, as evidenced by the images of the Evanston store below.
OTR chief operating officer Peter Piliouras said “OTR are proud to be creating jobs in construction, food manufacturing and retail sectors especially for the regional areas of South Australia.”
“The OTR team is very proud to be opening new stores and creating much needed jobs for local regional communities, since 2014 OTR has created 1000 jobs for South Australia.”
OTR employs more than 2800 locals and recently advertised for around 80 roles across metropolitan and regional Adelaide in its convenience, food and hospitality for their food brands Oporto, Subway, Wok in a Box and Hungry Jacks.
