PTT to spend P500M in ’18 for more stations, cafes

/ 05:10 AM December 07, 2017

PTT Philippines Corp. has earmarked at least P500 million for its expansion in 2018 as it revs up its non-oil business, particularly the coffee shop chain Café Amazon.

The amount is part of PTT Philippines’ P5-billion capex plan for the next five years, an official said in a media briefing yesterday.

Sukanya Seriyothin, PTT Philippines president and chief executive, said the expenditure kitty would go primarily to the opening of more than 30 gasoline stations and about 12 Café Amazon stores across the country.

“We remain confident on the business climate in the Philippines that’s why from 20 stations that we targeted this 2017 which we actually exceeded, we are targeting more than 30 stations next year,” Seriyothin said.
