The icon of the corporate gas station is a familiar site to any mobile consumer in the United States. Its familiarity is a result of the high demand for a product and repeated structures present in each community. according to the marketing material, such recognition is a desired architectural end, yet this end is not the result of architectural endeavors alone. For the advancement of the corporation, marketing is used here to promote the ease of use and the desired corporate image. There is no fault in such a procedure. It is interesting to consider the gas station as a paradox of forces and intentions. The paradox consists of the images of the literature and the reality of the structure. The literature projects an image of desired harmony, non-obtrusive and neutral participation in any environment. At the same time, the recognition of a moulded and repeatable form is used to attract and comfort the customer into a situation of “brand recognition”. Therefore, the building distinguishes itself from its background. Obviously, this is not in order to advance profits by attracting customers. Neither interest is “incorrect” yet the dually directed function of the structure is not always expected or considered. Claiming the accommodation of both the community and customers within the same structure is a desired policy of the corporation. / Master of Architecture

[pt] A perspectiva de entrada de novos concorrentes e a atual rede de postos revendedores existentes no mercado estão intimamente ligadas à inserção do segmento de combustíveis nos trilhos do mercado livre. Esta pesquisa estuda as possibilidades de retenção de postos revendedores por parte das distribuidoras de combustível. Tomando por base o modelo Delta (Hax e Wilde), investiga os atributos que possam vir a ser valorizados pelos clientes nas três perspectivas abordadas pelo modelo: economia do produto, economia do consumidor e economia do sistema. O estudo adota uma pesquisa de campo para identificação e avaliação dos atributos tanto por parte dos postos revendedores quanto das distribuidoras. Os resultados mostram os tanto graus de preferência quanto às discrepâncias entre eles no que diz respeito aos atributos avaliados por cada entidade - revendedor e distribuidora. Os resultados podem auxiliar as distribuidoras a melhorar seus posicionamentos estratégicos e a caminhar melhor na trajetória do modelo Delta, rumo à retenção de revendedores. / [en] The perspective of entry of new competitors in the market and the actual service stations network are closely linked to the insertion of the combustible segment in the open market.

Taking the Delta model (Hax e Wilde) as base, investigates the attributes that can be valorized by the clients on the three perspectives of this model: product economy, consumer economy and system economy. The study uses a field research to identify and evaluate the attributes from the service stations as much as the distributors part. The results show the grades of preference and the discrepancies between them in concern of the evaluated attributes for each instance - retail and distributor. The results can also help the distributors to improve theirs strategical positioning and to walk toward the retail loyalty using the way of Delta Model.
