retail section.
Hinterland Fuels was the talk of
Nampo with its two F1 Grand Prix Racing
simulators. Visitors were invited to put
themselves in-line to win a trip to the Abu
Dhabi Grand Prix by posting the fast lap
on the simulator. The competition was for
current Hinterland account holders with
an average fuel or diesel purchase of
R1 500. The winner will be announced in
October.
Marlene Momberg, Hinterland PR and
Events Coordinator said: “We have been
busy and the competition attracted more
customers. The weapons section also
brought in a lot of customers because
only a few branches sell weapons, Nampo
gave customers an opportunity to shop
for different types of weapons that aren’t
available at some of the Hinterland retail
branches while receiving expert advice
from the Hinterland assistants.”
