TotalEnergies Marketing Fiji has inaugurated its containerized Café Bonjour concept at two service stations in Fiji – TotalEnergies Waila in the Central Division and TotalEnergies Navutu in the West.

TotalEnergies says the innovative concept, which is a first for them in the country, aims to provide customers with a convenient and fresh experience to enjoy food and coffee while they refuel their vehicles or take advantage of other services at the stations.

TotalEnergies Oceania and South East Asia Vice President Mehmet Celepoglu says this new concept of containerized Café Bonjour demonstrates TotalEnergies’ commitment to continuous innovation and enhancing customer experience.

He says they are confident that this new addition will be well received by their customers in Fiji.

TotalEnergies says Café Bonjour is a concept that offers customers a variety of food and beverage options, including freshly brewed coffee, pastries, sandwiches and fast food.

It says There are currently 18 Café Bonjour in Fiji, out of a total of 34 TotalEnergies service stations and these latest containerized Café Bonjour with strategic outdoor settings are highly visible from the road and offer customers a view of the Wash and lube bays, perfect for customers who wish to keep an eye on their vehicles.

They say this novel concept is also a testament to TotalEnergies' commitment to sustainability, and the cafés are constructed from repurposed shipping containers.

It adds the TotalEnergies Navutu container café has solar panels to provide solar energy for its operations, and the cafés are also designed to be modular, providing flexibility in terms of scalability and mobility, and hence are ideal for expanding the Café Bonjour concept to other potential TotalEnergies service stations in the future.

Managing Director of TotalEnergies Marketing (Fiji) Pte Ltd Dennis Michael Cuaycong says sustainability is at the heart of everything they do at TotalEnergies.

He says their containerized cafés are a sustainable solution that aligns with the principles of circular economy where materials are kept in use for as long as possible.

He adds that converting the shipping containers not only can reduce the volume of waste generated, it also means less new construction materials and energy are required, lowering the environmental impact.

He says both the TotalEnergies Waila and TotalEnergies Navutu service stations also offer a Bonjour Shop, Quartz Auto Service and Wash concepts, making them a convenient one-stop shop for TotalEnergies customers who need to refuel, wash and service their vehicles, while they grab a bite to eat.
