The traditional gas station model is simple: one party sells, the other buys.
Central Buy breaks that logic and proposes something different: the customer also becomes a shareholder of the supply hub.
In Central Buy MAD1, for example, individuals, companies, and even fleets can acquire shares of the hub, benefit from its activity, and at the same time save on their fuel consumption.
1. A Hybrid Model: User, Shareholder, and Beneficiary
Central Buy brings together three dimensions in a single structure:
- Consumer
The user refuels at the hub or within the defined coverage area. - Shareholder
They purchase shares at an accessible price and become part of the hub’s capital. - Beneficiary
They enjoy:- Preferential fuel pricing
- Discounts on associated services (basic mechanics, spare parts)
- Participation in results through annual dividends, according to the established terms
2. Why It Fits Within the SPFO Ecosystem
Central Buy is not just a “different kind of gas station.” It fits into SPFO’s broader strategy:
- Concentrating consumption volume in a well-designed hub (logistics, pricing, services)
- Connecting that volume with the group’s trading and import operations
- Opening a participation channel for the end user—something rare in this sector
For SPFO, Central Buy is:
- A terminal of recurring consumption
- An asset that can be financially structured
- A powerful showcase of how access to a traditionally closed business can be democratized
3. Advantages for Individual Members
For individuals within the coverage radius:
- Direct Savings
A more competitive price per liter than the general market, as long as they refuel at the hub. - Potential Annual Return
Participation in dividends according to the corporate structure. - Added Services
Access to spare parts and basic mechanical services under preferential conditions.
In practical terms, Central Buy turns part of the recurring fuel expense into an asset with potential returns.
4. Advantages for Companies and Fleets
For companies, the model adds:
- Scheduled supply
- Percentage savings on fuel
- Improved annual operating results
- The possibility of holding equity in the hub
This makes Central Buy a tool for:
- Cost efficiency
- Better consumption control
- And simultaneously, investment in an asset the company uses every day
5. Central Buy as Part of the SPFO Narrative
Within the SPFO ecosystem:
- SPFO Station focuses on the professional side of the service station
- PEIP focuses on the investor
- Central Buy focuses on the end user, without disconnecting from trading and logistics
The logic is always the same:
Real assets, real operations, and real people—customers or investors—who benefit from participating in them.
