Solane expands retail footprint with new Iloilo showroom

As Filipino households become more intentional with their spending, every essential purchase is made more thoughtfully—including LPG refills. Recognizing that convenience, reliability, and accessibility matter most when customers are ready to replenish their supply, Solane continues to invest in innovations that enhance the LPG retail experience through the launch of its newest Park N' Order concept showroom in Leganes, Iloilo. 

Solane formally inaugurated its newest Park N' Order branch in Iloilo through a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Isla LPG and Fabson Inc. executives. Present during the launch are (from left) Benedict Libunao, Isla LPG Account Manager for Western Visayas; Tonito Gonzalez, Isla LPG Chief Commercial Officer; Trisha Sicat-Hamoy, Isla LPG Chief Financial Officer; Banjo Castillo, Isla LPG Chief Operating Officer; Tomoaki Asai, Isla LPG Chief Executive Officer; Gavin Santos of Fabson Inc.; Pien Santos, Chief Executive Officer of Fabson Inc.; Trista Santos of Fabson Inc.; JR Santos of Fabson Inc.; Rene Gamba, Isla LPG National Sales Director; Katherine Cabisada, Isla LPG Trade Excellence and Market Intelligence Manager; and Arllan Lazaga, Isla LPG Regional Sales Manager for Visayas. The new Park N' Order branch expands Solane's growing retail network, providing Ilonggo households and businesses with a more convenient way to access safe, reliable, and quality LPG.

The launch also coincides with the inauguration of Isla Group's new LPG terminal in Leganes, marking another milestone in Solane's continued investment in improving the customer experience while strengthening its distribution network across Western Visayas. Together, these investments reinforce Solane's commitment to delivering greater convenience, reliability, and peace of mind to Filipino households.

Designed to make LPG purchasing faster and more convenient, Park N' Order offers customers a seamless retail experience that combines technology with personalized service. Customers can conveniently place their order, remain in their vehicle throughout the transaction, and receive direct access to genuine, safe, and quality Solane LPG eliminating unnecessary waiting time and making refills easier to fit into their daily routines.

"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."

It is the second Solane Concept showroom in the Philippines following the successful launch of the first LPG drive-thru store in Tarlac City, the first in the Visayas and Mindanao region, and the first showroom integrated with Solane's own LPG terminal. By bringing together retail operations and supply infrastructure in one location, Solane further enhances operational efficiency while ensuring a dependable supply of LPG for communities across Western Visayas.

More than introducing a new retail concept, the investment underscores Solane's long-term commitment to building resilient infrastructure that supports the country's growing energy needs. The new LPG terminal strengthens Solane's distribution network, enabling the company to better serve households, businesses, and communities with a stable and reliable supply of LPG.

As the company continues to expand its retail footprint nationwide, Solane remains focused on delivering solutions that go beyond simply providing LPG. Through innovations like Park N' Order, the company is creating a more customer-centered experience—one that gives Filipino families greater convenience, reliability, and peace of mind every time they refill.

Solane takes another step toward making safe and reliable LPG more accessible, reaffirming its commitment to serving Filipino households through innovation, dependable service, and investments that strengthen the country's energy future.
