David Jones and BP Are Opening 21 Super-Fancy Convenience Stores Across Sydney and Melbourne
You'll be able to pick up pulled pork empanadas, rotisserie chicken and lasagne with your tank of petrol.
Next time you swing past your local petrol station, you might be able to pick up more than just questionable coffee and Cadbury chocolate bars. In fact, you may be able to leave with a full tank, a rotisserie chicken and some luxe mac 'n' cheese. David Jones and BP have teamed up to open 31 super-fancy convenience stores across Sydney and Melbourne by the end of 2020.
The duo has already opened ten trial stores across the two cities, with the first opening in Melbourne's Bayside back in November 2019. The new stores are set to open in Merrifield, Clyde, Epping, Caroline Springs, Eltham, Greenvale and Kingsway in Victoria, as well as in NSW's Kellyville, Marsden Park, Seven Hills, Willoughby, Caringbah, Mosman, Sydenham, Penrith, Thornleigh, Asquith, Engadine, Peninsula, West Ryde and Ourimbah. And they'll each be selling more than 350 different products.
As well as top-shelf groceries, such as meats, fancy olive oil and peanut butter, they'll be home to a heap of ready-to-eat and heat-at-home meals. Pick from the likes of salads, sandwich and pastries — all David Jones quality, of course — and meals like green curry chicken, butter chicken, lasagne, mac 'n' cheese and free-range rotisserie chook, which are prepared on site each day.
Because we live in pandemic times, each store will also offer a range of items for delivery via UberEats. Called Everyday by BP X David Jones, the delivery service is already available from Sydney's Artarmon, Ashfield, Kingsford and Rozelle, and Bayside, Brighton, Clarendon, Greensborough, Ringwood and Tally Ho in Melbourne. On the menu: pulled pork empanadas, haloumi fritters, bolognese and passionfruit cheesecake mousse.
