The Arco BP AM/PM Group, one of the top developers and franchisers of gas stations and travel centres in the US , plans to open 50 gas stations and 10 truck-stops in Vietnam.

Speaking at a seminar on US-Vietnam business opportunities on Oct. 14, Moody M. Brickett, the group’s business consultant, said it would seek cooperation with local businesses or franchise partners to carry out its investment plan.

Truck stops will be located on well-travelled streets or expressways, providing gasoline, hot meals and other conveniences.

Gas stations will be coupled with small convenience stores./.
