Virši announces Lithuania expansion plan

Latvian fuel station operator AS VIRŠI-A (Virši) said December 8 it plans to launch operations in Lithuania in spring 2024. The first Virši service station in Lithuania will be located in the south of the country, on the busy A5 highway near the town of Marijampolė.

“We are delighted to continue the rapid growth story of the company outside the borders of Latvia. Lithuania is important to us as we see it as a significant market for both our business and private customers. This is our first step outside the Latvian market, and we are confident that with our experience and quality, we will be also able to gain the trust of our customers in Lithuania. We expect that our presence in Lithuania will have a positive impact on the development of the long-term business model of the Company, both by promoting brand awareness at the Baltic level and by expanding the availability of Virši products to existing and future customers in Lithuania,” said Jānis Vība, Virši Chairman.

The new 314 m2 building of the Virši service station with a store and café area is currently under construction and will operate around the clock. Virši currently operates around 70 fuel stations in Latvia
