The Organizing Committee of the Lima 2019 Pan American and Parapan American Games announced that Repsol is the Official Store of Lima 2019 products and that it won the license to operate the official convenience stores of the Lima 2019 Pan American and Parapan American Games.
The partnership between Lima 2019 and Repsol guarantees more than 30 service stations in Lima and Callao, duly identified as Lima 2019 Official Store, which will serve as points of sale for Games merchandising such as stuffed toy Milco (Lima 2019 mascot), mugs, t-shirts, among others.
This partnership was announced by Carlos Neuhaus, Lima 2019 Organizing Committee president; Dante Blotte, CEO of Repsol Comercial S.A.C; and Juan Antonio Silva, Director of Communications, Marketing and Merchandising, during a press conference at the Chacarilla service station (one of Repsol’s gas stations, located on Av. Primavera, Santiago de Surco).
Neuhaus highlighted the importance of the Games as a promoter of national industry and the responsibility of showcasing the work and effort of Peruvians, not only in sports but in every possible fields.
“This is a store (Repsol) accredited by the Games, and the products in the Repsol stores will be Lima 2019 official products, as they have been properly registered in Indecopi. This is very important, because we must promote Peru’s industry.”
Meanwhile, Blotte stated that it is an honor for Repsol to be part of a world-class event. “We thank Lima 2019 for trusting us to be part of this event, this very significant international celebration, and for betting on us to be the Lima 2019 official convenience store.”
He also added that the convenience stores will be located inside the main venues of Lima 2019 and will be stocked with a wide variety of products, such as packaged food, candy, hygiene items, drugstore, among others, in order to meet the needs of different Lima 2019 stakeholder groups, including over 12,500 athletes and officials, 19,000 volunteers and more than one million spectators at the various competition and non-competition venues.
It is important to note that over 80% of official merchandising at Repsol convenience stores are made in Peru. The Lima 2019 Organizing Committee is thus able to maintain its commitment to Peruvian micro and small enterprises.
Repsol stores will also be located in the Pan American and Parapan American Village, National Sports Village (VIDENA), Callao Sports Center, San Marcos National University Stadium, National Stadium, Parque de la Exposición (Lima 2019 Cultural Program venue), Villa Maria del Triunfo and Lima Convention Center (IBC/MPC).
