Avalon Raceway is excited to announce a partnership with APCO Service Stations
Pty. Ltd as the 2025-26 Speedway Season comes to life.
The partnership is defined by geography, with Ron & Margaret Anderson opening
their first APCO in Warrnambool in 1968 which is still in operation today, and the first
Geelong site then opening in 1980. APCO has now evolved to specialise not only in
fuel, but also grocery convenience, and a foodservice offering under cafe24-7 also
offering award winning barista made coffee! and on-the-go food items which is music
to the ears of the amazingly loyal Speedway fans who visit Avalon Raceway each
and every season.
With locations in and around Geelong including Barwon Heads, East Geelong, South
Geelong, Grovedale, Mt Duneed, Newcomb, North Geelong, Waurn Ponds and right
by Avalon Raceway in Lara, 5 Mill Rd, travelling Speedway fans will be well catered
for 24/7 anytime day or night, perfect for after race meets!
For this, travelling from further afield, all of the great offerings of cafe24-7 are also
available at a number of regional centers throughout Victoria, including but not
limited to Alfredton (Ballarat), Ballarat (Main Road), Ballarat (Skipton Street),
Kangaroo Flat (Bendigo), Bendigo (Strathdale), Bacchus Marsh, Bairnsdale,
Cranbourne, Cranbourne West, Epping, Hoppers Crossing, Mildura, Shepparton,
Thomastown, Wagga Wagga (NSW), Wangaratta, Warrnambool and Wodonga.
“To have APCO on board and forming this partnership with them is exciting and
really suits our Speedway community, whether that’s the drivers and teams or the
spectators, because when you look at what we can offer for those visiting Avalon
Raceway and Geelong, or for those travelling to other venues, whether it be in
Warrnambool, Bairnsdale, Wangaratta, Mildura, Ballarat, Wagga Wagga or a soon to
be completed site in Mount Gambier, the one constant is that APCO is there 24-7”,
Avalon Raceway Speedway Operations Manager David Mills said.
“All that we ask is that those same Drivers, Teams and Race Fans, support those
that support us and that they keep an eye out for an APCO when they next need
fuel, a brilliant coffee or something tasty to eat when they are next on the road”, he
added.
APCO’s Strategic Partnerships and Events Lead, Jess Guareschi was also excited
to be a part of the Avalon raceway family.
Jess Guareschi, Strategic Partnerships & Event Lead of APCO Service Stations,
was equally positive about the partnership announcement, stating, “APCO Service
Stations cafe24-7 are proud to be partnering with Avalon Raceway!
As two proud locals, this collaboration perfectly reflects our shared commitment to community spirit
and connection. We’re thrilled to be fuelling the excitement of race teams and fans
alike and look forward to welcoming all to any of our locations for barista made
coffee, fresh food and friendly service.”
