ILOILO — Solane has opened a Park N’ Order concept showroom in Leganes, Iloilo, expanding access to liquefied petroleum gas while strengthening its distribution network in Western Visayas.
The opening coincided with the inauguration of Isla Group’s new LPG terminal in Leganes.
The combined retail and supply investments are intended to make LPG refills more convenient for households and businesses while supporting a more dependable fuel supply across the region.
For consumers, the project could reduce waiting time and improve access to properly sourced LPG, an essential household fuel whose availability and safety directly affect daily cooking, small businesses and community welfare.
Drive-through LPG service
The Park N’ Order concept allows customers to place an order and remain inside their vehicles throughout the transaction.
Customers are then provided direct access to genuine Solane LPG.
The company said the setup eliminates unnecessary waiting time and makes refills easier to include in customers’ daily routines.
The showroom combines technology with personalized service to create a faster retail experience.
“We recognize that today’s consumers value convenience just as much as reliability when it comes to essential purchases like LPG,” said Banjo Castillo, Isla Group Chief Operating Officer.
“Park N’ Order reflects our commitment to continuously improving the customer experience through innovations that make every refill more convenient and accessible for Filipino households.”
Second Philippine showroom
The Leganes facility is Solane’s second concept showroom in the Philippines.
It follows the launch of the company’s first LPG drive-through store in Tarlac City.
The Iloilo branch is the first Park N’ Order showroom in the Visayas and Mindanao region.
It is also the first showroom integrated with Solane’s own LPG terminal.
By locating retail operations and supply infrastructure in the same area, Solane said it can improve operational efficiency and help maintain a dependable LPG supply for Western Visayas communities.
New Leganes terminal
The new terminal is intended to strengthen Solane’s regional distribution network.
The facility will support LPG deliveries to households, businesses and communities across Western Visayas.
The company said the investment forms part of its long-term effort to build resilient infrastructure for the country’s growing energy requirements.
A more stable distribution network is particularly important for communities that depend on LPG for cooking and commercial food preparation.
Supply disruptions can affect household routines and operating costs for restaurants, eateries and other small enterprises.
Expanding retail network
Solane said it would continue expanding its retail footprint nationwide.
The company said its strategy goes beyond supplying LPG by improving the overall customer experience.
Through Park N’ Order, Solane aims to provide families with greater convenience, reliability and peace of mind each time they refill.
The company said the Iloilo investment reaffirmed its commitment to making safe and reliable LPG more accessible through innovation, dependable service and stronger energy infrastructure.
