In 2022, bp Australia commenced a national rebranding program of its Wild Bean café offer and extensive internal store refurbishment program across the majority of its retail fuel sites within Australia. This was a significant program of work, across over three-hundred sites, which would enhance the retail and convenience offer within these bp stores. A leading model of combining retail convenience, food offerings and barista coffee to the general public.
TFA was engaged by bp Australia to undertake the following key aspects of the program of work:
- National programme management of the roll-out
- Conducting detailed site measures to prepare existing “as constructed” building floor plans
- Conducting detailed assessments of existing electrical, HVAC and hydraulic services to understand required upgrades
- Creation of virtual site and building walkthroughs for all sites, pre and post upgrade
- Designing all modifications to floor plans and external elevations to comply with bp’s national standard
- Project management of individual site upgrades including optimising construction strategies to minimise disruption to trade
- Managing all relevant approval processes across all State and Territory jurisdictions across Australia
This project drew from TFA’s extensive experience in retail fuel design and previous rebranding programs of work. It required a significant amount of coordination given the number of sites within the timeframe involved and a shared commitment between bp, TFA and trusted delivery partners to ensure a successful rollout.
