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 260+ 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
-
Financial mentoring
-
Training
-
Audit and compliance
Every franchisee has two to three weeks of intensive, onsite training in our purpose-built training centre before receiving some 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.
We offer long term tenures 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 (CPL) 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.

- Strong experience or interest in running a retail business.
- Good staff development/ leadership skills.
- Sound management/ administrative skills.

If you believe you have these qualities we would love to hear from you.
