IBERSOL Annual Report 2018

OTHER BUSINESSES The motorway service stations are an important segment of activity for the Ibersol Group, which at the end of the year operated 24 units. This business segment continues to be strongly affected by signifi- cant reduction in traffic as a result of the introduction of tolls on the former SCUTS (highways without tolls) and by increasing competi- tion from the service stations with reference to restaurant services. Sol is the umbrella brand for the ur- ban and long distance motorway restaurant services, through units with a modern and functional de- sign, food proposals adjusted to the needs of consumers and with ser- vices that go well beyond those of conventional restaurants in service stations. In view of the varied pro- files of those who visit the Sol units, these spaces are prepared to offer a great experience to all of them. The Sol units are characterised by their food offers, according to spe- SERVICE STATIONS PORTUGAL cific brands, adapted to different moments of consumption, with ac- cessible prices, and always with a personalised and attentive service. In these units you can find re- nowned self-owned or franchised restaurant brands. Go To Coffe & Food is the cafeteria brand which is present in most Sol service sta- tions. This brand is also present in Portuguese airports, where we op- erate restaurant units. In various locations, especially in cities, the Sol units include renowned interna- tional brands such as Burger King, Pans & Company and KFC. The units also provide a variety of services, such as an independent baby changing room, a lounge area, free Wi-Fi, sockets for charging computers or mobile phones, avail- ability of tablets and daily newspa- pers for perusal, sale of newspa- pers, magazines, last minute gifts and drive-thru. 88
