The Walmart chain and the Gazpro company teamed up to install gas stations in supermarket parking lots.
The Walmart supermarket chain and the Gazpro company signed a plan to start up new gasoline service stations that will be in store parking lots.
According to the chain, the gas stations would be in the formats of Bodega Aurrera, Mi Bodega Aurrera, Sam’s Club, Walmart Express, and Walmart Supercenter, throughout the country.

He also specified that the new gas stations will be designed, developed and operated by Gazpro and will be supplied with gasoline supplied by Pemex, through the sub-licensed brand model for the sale of Pemex products.
