OTR (convenience store)
.jpg)
OTR (On The Run) is a chain of convenience stores based in Australia, primarily found in the state of South Australia. The brand is known for its wide range of services including fuel, food, coffee, and basic grocery items. OTR stores often operate 24/7, catering to a broad spectrum of needs for local communities and travelers alike.
History[edit | edit source]
The origins of OTR can be traced back to the late 20th century when the first store was established in Adelaide, South Australia. Over the years, OTR has expanded significantly, becoming a prominent feature in South Australia's retail landscape. The brand is part of the Peregrine Corporation, South Australia's largest privately-owned company, which has played a crucial role in OTR's expansion and development.
Services[edit | edit source]
OTR stores offer a variety of services that go beyond the traditional convenience store model. These include:
- Fuel: Offering a range of petrol and diesel options for motorists.
- Food and Beverage: Many OTR stores house popular fast-food outlets and coffee shops such as Subway, Oporto, and C Coffee.
- Grocery Items: Providing a selection of essential grocery products for quick and easy shopping.
- ATMs and Lottery Tickets: For additional convenience, some stores also offer ATM services and sell lottery tickets.
- Car Wash: Selected locations feature car wash services, adding to the comprehensive nature of the stores.
Expansion and Controversy[edit | edit source]
OTR's expansion has not been without controversy. The brand has faced criticism from some community groups and local businesses concerned about the impact of 24/7 convenience stores on small, independent retailers. Additionally, there have been discussions around labor practices and the treatment of employees within the company.
Future Directions[edit | edit source]
OTR continues to grow, with plans to expand beyond South Australia into other Australian states. The company is also exploring innovative technologies to enhance customer experience, including mobile app ordering and loyalty programs.
