Ultra-luxury gas station planned in Greenwich - NewsTimes

Some excerpts from the article:

Quote:

Service will be limited to accepted GP Club members who meet the net worth requirement and pay an annual fee for the exclusive membership program. Taylor said the company’s policy prohibits it from disclosing the fee amount.

Quote:

A valet and concierge will meet arriving visitors and the first level will host the convenience store and a dining room. Employees will service guests’ cars during their visit, which includes gas and a hand wash and wax.

I am sure that I won't meet the net worth requirements. I wonder what would happen if I walked up to the place with a gas can in my hand.

That's a country club that happens to pump gas.

So you fill up on gas, go in and buy stuff, maybe have a bite to eat and sit around.
Like Costco?

Who is worth $50M and thinks a gas station is a great spot to hang out?

stomachmonkey · 09-09-2016, 09:34 AM

Meh, gimme a Buc-ee's any day.

There's probably enough douche bags out there to make a place like that succeed.

It's Greenwich, plenty of 1% there to fill the bill!

In Greenwich the staff gets gas

Byron will have a membership so he can take selfies inside.

Nice rendition of what it will look like. I don't see any vehicles a 1%er would be caught dead in. (Okay the blue one might be a 911, but even that seems too cheap)

Do the chauffeurs get to partake in the benefits of membership?

The people this is aimed at have probably never seen a gas pump. They have servants to do that kind of work.

If there's a market, why not?

I like the idea of fleecing rich idiots.

Shall we create a luxury 'take a crap' station as well? Getting fuel in one's vehicle is not exactly a luxury moment.

Inane.

Maybe they should just concentrate on selling gas without ethanol and leave hospitality to the hospitality people.

"At first... in my half-drunken stupor as I peered through the somewhat fogged-up windshield, I thought I was at a snooty country club with a concierge and a water park, but as I wiped away the mist... the gas pumps gave it away."

“Greenwich is considered an ultra-affluent city in America, and we think it is important for GP Club to have a presence in the city,” Tiffany Taylor, corporate vice president, said in an email.

Perfect. Thank you, Tiffany.
