Busia, Uganda – Thursday 19th December 2024: Vivo Energy Uganda, the company that distributes and markets Shell-branded fuels and lubricants, is pleased to announce the reopening of the newly renovated Shell Busia service station. The launch was officiated by Joanita Mukasa Menya, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Uganda, as part of the company’s expansion strategy aimed at bringing its world-class Shell fuels and services closer to its customers across the region.
Originally a small station catering primarily to travellers in transit between Uganda and Kenya, Shell Busia has been modernised and expanded to meet the needs of today’s growing customer base. Key upgrades include an enlarged forecourt to accommodate more vehicles, from passenger taxis and buses to commercial trucks that form part of Uganda’s vital export corridor. Travellers can now enjoy enhanced convenience with the addition of a quick-service restaurant offering hot meals, as well as an upgraded Shell Select store, open 24/7, for on-the-go shopping.
In a first for the region, Shell Busia introduces a dedicated Boda Spot, an exclusive fuelling point designed to serve boda boda riders efficiently.
The station also proudly showcases Shell’s modern visual identity, reflecting Vivo Energy Uganda’s dynamic, forward-thinking approach. This refreshed look, now being replicated across Vivo Energy’s stations, symbolises a unified, customer-centric experience built on innovation, sustainability, and exceptional service.
Speaking at the launch, Joanita Mukasa Menya, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Uganda, said:
“Expanding our network not only demonstrates our confidence in Uganda’s future but also reinforces our role as a trusted partner in creating opportunities, enhancing mobility, and uplifting communities. We are proud to contribute to Uganda’s economic development and the well-being of its people. Every new station represents jobs, partnerships, and improved access to quality services, benefiting the communities in which we operate.”
The reopening event was attended by Vivo Energy Uganda employees, customers including area businessmen, local leaders, and the vibrant community of Busia municipality, who welcomed the enhancements with enthusiasm.
The reopening of Shell Busia marks a significant step in Vivo Energy Uganda’s mission to enhance accessibility and mobility, reaffirming its commitment to delivering quality Shell fuels, services, and unmatched customer experiences to travellers across Uganda.
