Avi Silver and Eddie Hirsch, founders and directors of United Petroleum, have achieved one of the most dynamic and successful partnerships in the petroleum industry.
Commencing in 1981 in Victoria under the Astron banner, the directors soon established a successful chain of petrol and convenience stores under the distinctive United Petroleum brand.
United Petroleum is one of Australia’s largest and most successful independent petrol retailers, with more than 230+ branded service stations.
The company’s structure provides very solid support for franchisees, with expertise in:
- Fuel & Consumer goods retailing
- Merchandising
- Franchise management
- Repairs and maintenance
- Accounting and legal
- Training
- Audit and compliance
Every franchisee has two weeks of intensive, onsite training in our purpose-built training centre before receiving two weeks training at their own site to ensure they’re confident about all aspects of their business.
An experienced field support team is on hand to support and advise franchisees as they build their business.
Franchise agreements are for 5 x 5 x 5 years, whereby franchisees pay a franchise fee and goodwill and buy their initial stock, but there are no costs for fuel, equipment or shop fit-out. A cent’s per litre commission is paid on the volume of petrol franchisees sell.
Franchisees pay a royalty on the shop turnover, which is set at a fixed percentage and includes your rent. There is no additional marketing levy.
