_{bp New Zealand General Manager of Retail and Assets Adrian McClellan says, “We know our customers have a choice when it comes to fuel retailers, so we choose the most convenient locations possible and work hard to give our customers as many reasons as possible to choose bp. We are delighted to bring our bp Connect and Wild Bean Cafe offering to Wanaka.”}
