Lotos follows the trend of opening budget petrol stations

The new logo would encompass around 85% of the 250 outlets. Lotos deputy president Wojciech Kowalczyk said that the standard on these stations would be slightly lower than of those which are Lotos branded, and therefore the prices are also likely to be lower. The company's management is also working on developing the network of its own stations, the number of which currently stands at around 75 and is to be doubled, so that the whole network would amount to some 400 stations. The first oil concern which decided to divide its network into two different brands was Statoil which beside its flagship network is developing the 1,2,3 brand, which currently comprise of 10 stations. A similar project is also planned by PKN Orlen. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6)
