The opening of Victoria’s first Ampol Woolworths Metro store in Sandringham today sets a new benchmark for retail shopping in Melbourne. 
Owned and operated by Ampol, the new store “brings together Ampol’s great service and world-class quality fuels with an inspiring range of quality fresh food and top-up essentials from Woolworths, to help on-the-go customers in Melbourne make the most out of every journey,” according to the retailer.
Ampol’s Executive General Manager, Retail, Brand and Culture, Jo Taylor says: “We know Australians are increasingly looking to shop local, in a safe and convenient way. Together with Woolworths, we’re making it easier for customers to pick up quality fresh food and grocery essentials in one place, along with our great quality coffee and premium fuels.
“Our award-winning Ampol Woolworths Metro format has set a new standard of service, product quality and range, and we are thrilled to bring this outstanding offer to Melbourne.
“We look forward to rolling out more sites across Victoria in the months ahead.”
Woolworths General Manager – Metro Partnerships, Michelle White says: “At Woolworths, we’re always looking for new ways to make it easier to shop for your everyday needs.

“This partnership brings the best of both brands together and delivers a whole new level of convenience for the benefit of our mutual customers.”
