Today, November 29, a new service station of the energy commodities trader and convenience store network AS VIRŠI-A (“Virši”) was opened in Ķekava, “Jaungaņģi”. Investing 2.4 million euros in the creation of the facility, the Company landscaped an area of 14,437 m2, creating a convenient place to stop for vehicles travelling on the Riga Bypass.
The new full-service location is open to customers around the clock, offering a 160 m2 store with a wide range of food, drinks and car accessories, as well as convenient rest areas both indoors and outdoors. The most popular refuelling options (95 and 98 petrol, diesel, Adblue) and electric car charging points for two vehicles with an aggregate capacity of 200 kW are available to customers. In addition, the service station also has a spacious car park that can comfortably accommodate up to 13 cars and six trucks.
“The year of 2024 was a year of great investments for the Company. The new service station is the ninth sales point opened this year, which is located in a strategically significant place — at the intersection of the Riga Bypass and the Ķekava Bypass. We are convinced that the convenient location along with the range of offered high-quality products will inherit the trust of both our private and corporate customers, and enhance the further growth of the Company”, emphasises Jānis Vība, Chairman of the Management Board of Virši.
In caring for the convenience of electric car owners, the new location is equipped with one 160 KW CCS plug and 40 kW CCS or CHAdeMO plug, ensuring the possibility of charging two electric cars at the same time. This solution will allow charging vehicles efficiently and quickly, adapting to modern mobility needs.
The service station can be accessed from the A5 highway in the direction towards Babīte, using the V6 local road route.
