MANILA, Philippines — Top Line Business Development Corp. has launched eight retail fuel stations in northern Cebu catering to two-wheeled vehicles, aiming to tap into the growing motorcycle market.

The stations, the first batch of acquired outlets to complete renovation and rebranding, are now operating at full capacity under the Light Fuels Express format.

They are expected to generate up to one million liters in monthly sales volume as Top Line moves to renovate and rebrand additional stations across Cebu, Leyte, Siquijor and Negros Oriental.

“The completion of our Cluster 1 renovation shows how we maintain quality in our acquisitions, reflecting our disciplined approach to optimize each station to operate at full capacity while maintaining efficiency and service quality,” Top Line senior vice president and COO Brigitte Carmel Lim said.

The company plans to complete renovations for Clusters 2, 3 and 4 by the end of this year. In the meantime, stations that have yet to be rebranded remain operational.

“This cluster-based rollout allows us to scale systematically and capture demand in high-growth markets like northern Cebu,” Lim said.

In northern Cebu, Top Line estimates that around 80 percent of the fuel market consists of two-wheeled vehicles.

With the newly renovated stations, the company aims to combine operational efficiency with the flexibility to adapt to evolving customer needs.

In particular, Light Fuel Express stations feature automated motor wash systems capable of cleaning light vehicles in just three minutes, providing a convenient service for on-the-go customers.

Last year, Top Line acquired a gas station in Cebu from Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc. of Davao-based businessman Dennis Uy.

It also purchased 38 gasoline stations, a depot facility and 15 fuel tanker trucks from Total Oil & Gas Resources Inc. and Ballston Metro Corp.

The acquisition is projected to add at least 36.5 million liters to its annual liquid fuel sales volume while accelerating its expansion across key markets in Visayas.

As previously disclosed, the company invested P925 million for the acquisition and renovation of the stations.
