The introduction of Plus Petrol

In 1996 Woolworths announced that it would introduce petrol outlets within car parks of their existing Woolworths supermarkets. These outlets would concentrate on essential services including petrol, water, oil and air and offer low cost petrol to Woolworths customers.

The first opened at Dubbo NSW where it was located in the carpark of the supermarket, this was to be followed by others, initially mainly in country areas.
