I have noticed a trend toward this in Sydney, Australia, where grocery stores and quality restaurants are abundant. However it is not local home cooked food.
Instead large multi-national petroleum companies seem to be turning their branded stations into quasi-restaurants and cafes.
These have always existed on highways (truck-stops), but now I am seeing them all over the inner-city and suburban areas.

*Caltex is a petroleum brand name of Chevron Corporation
- prawn 7y agoThere is a very strong chain of these in South Australia (OTR) owned by Peregrine Corp and the Shahin Family. It's a smart strategy, buying up prominent corner sites everywhere and spreading the offering beyond petrol/diesel/gas which you'd assume has a fading future.
