Singer and entrepreneur Konrad Skolimowski, known as Skolim, has from today applied a margin of just 1 grosz per litre at his petrol station in Czeremsze. As a result, the local station now offers the cheapest fuel in the area and, according to its owner, one of the lowest margins in the whole country.
Skolim announced the decision himself in a short video, in which he pointed to rising fuel prices across Poland. “Travelling around Poland, I see fuel prices going up. For the sake of our customers from Czeremcha, from today we are introducing a 1 grosz margin on fuel. So the lowest fuel in Czeremsze too. For those who have gas cookers and use gas cylinders, from today I am introducing gas cylinders at a price of 59 złoty” – he said.
The pink SKOLIM station in Czeremsze (Podlaskie Voivodeship) has stood out since it opened for its attractive prices and distinctive tropical decor. The owner regularly stresses that he wants to genuinely support local residents and drivers from across Poland who choose to stop in Czeremcha. Alongside fuel with a minimal margin, it also offers 11-litre gas cylinders on promotion for 59 zł.
The news spread quickly on social media. Internet users are praising the initiative of a small entrepreneur who, against the trend of rising prices, has decided to cut his margin to a symbolic level. Some jokingly suggest Skolim should become the head of a larger fuel chain.
The station operates daily and serves customers without the need for discount cards, as prices are the same for everyone. Skolim invites all interested drivers to Podlasie, stressing that he is acting “as fast as possible” for the sake of his customers’ wallets.
It is worth remembering that, despite Skolim’s very good intentions, this is also a marketing campaign. The fuel and gas cylinder prices are genuine, but they could not be sustained in a large, real fuel business. By owning his own petrol station, Skolim simply spends less on marketing, achieving very good results in an alternative way.
