BP Kingsway, Melbourne took home gold at this year’s Sydney Design Award in the ‘Hospitality – On the Go’ category.

The store is a re-invention of forecourt convenience retail and BP’s brief to interior design company, McCartney Design, was to examine all aspects of the forecourt retail experience and re-engineer them to deliver brighter moments in our customer’s day. 

Winning design BP KingswayCollaborating closely with McCartney Design, the BP team developed the idea for an integrated store design built around customer journeys.

“The store caters for a wide range of customers, who each have different mindsets depending on their mission. The multi-speed environment incorporates self-service or personal interaction, grab’n’go or relax and savour, eat it now or enjoy it later, satisfying all customers,” said Brooke Miller, BP’s Vice President Sales & Marketing Australia.

“By using research into BP’s core customer groups, McCartney Design were able to analyse shopper missions and develop customer journeys around them,” said Miller.

Each element of the plan, including the registers, self-service areas, drinks fridges and even the toilets were carefully and purposefully positioned in accordance with where the customer needed them to be.Winning design BP Kingsway
