There's something for everyone at the new Shell Tampines Ave 2 station

Shell Singapore today revealed its newly refreshed station at Tampines Avenue 2 with a broadened suite of offerings and station amenities. Designed as a 'mobility oasis', it aims to enhance the convenience and connectivity of the community - be it motorist, cyclist or a resident looking to refuel and recharge in between journeys.

Ms. Cheng Li Hui - Grassroots Adviser to the Tampines Grassroots Organisations and Member of Parliament for Tampines GRC - together with senior representatives of Shell Singapore, key partners, Tampines residents and customers graced the official launch this morning.

The new station marks the launch of Shell-owned convenience retail store Shell Select and its own food label Deli by Shell, which serves an assortment of pastries and sweet treats.

Deli by Shell also boasts the first Scoops of Happiness concept, featuring an exclusive selection of local ice cream dessert creations developed through an inaugural collaboration with Wall's.

Building on the station's convenient retail offering, Shell has joined forces with strategic partners such as McDonald's, who share a common vision in bringing value-added services to customers. Through this partnership, McDonald's now operates Singapore's first 24-hour Drive-Thru located in a petrol service station.

In light of the changing mobility landscape in Singapore towards a car-lite society, Shell is taking strides to cater to a growing community of Personal Mobility Device users by creating a Take a Brake bicycle bay - a first ever initiative in a petrol station as a dedicated facility.

Strategically located within the Tampines cycling network, it serves to enhance the connectivity of Tampines as an ideal pit-stop for cyclists to rest and recharge in between journeys.

In addition, Shell has introduced new sustainability initiatives in the station as a pilot, in a bid to improve energy and water efficiency in its day-to-day retail operations.

This includes the use of solar tubing in parts of the station canopy to reduce electricity usage in lighting up the refuelling area during the day; a rainwater harvesting system where water is reused to water the plants on the green walls and flushing of toilets; and the use of motion detectors, installed at specific areas of the station to ensure that lighting is only activated when necessary.

The revamp across 57 Shell stations islandwide will take place gradually over the next few years with the phased roll-out of Shell Select and Deli by Shell. Stations offerings may differ across the stations to cater to varying customer and locational needs.
