Moscow business daily Kommersant quoted TNK-BP vice president Aleksandr Nesterov as saying that Wild Bean Cafes will soon be located outside BP-branded retail
petrol stations, although they will operate independently.
Five outlets are planned initially to be in operation in downtown Moscow before the end of the year, with the company hoping to promote BP and TNK retail brands to customers.
Provided they generate good returns, TNK-BP plans another 50 independent outlets in the capital and St Petersburg.
