Petrol Stations and Service Stations are generally considered to have the same or similar structures, though our experience within the industry says otherwise.
Petrol Stations are usually structured for the Sale of Petrol with a small convenience store whereas, Service Stations operate as fully functional Service Centres incorporating various retail outlets, for example, fast food chains or mechanics.
