South Africa’s finest petrol station
Joburg is known for some very fancy hotels, restaurants and shops. But it also arguably boasts SA’s best petrol station.
The petrol station in question is located on Jan Smuts Avenue in Rosebank. It is not your average filling station.
This is not because of the extraordinary price of fuel – given that the cost of fuel is at an all-time high, after the recent price increase.
The Sasol service station in Rosebank, Johannesburg is unlike any other petrol station in the country. This is due to the exceptional onsite eatery and food court located at the filling station.

THE PANTRY
The Sasol station’s convenience store is a hybrid between a deli, a bakery, a patisserie and a restaurant.
