Groupe EDK

What Groupe EDK does

Groupe EDK is a Senegalese multi-service petroleum and consumer services operator founded in 2009 and headquartered in Dakar. The company runs a network of multi-service gas stations across Senegal offering gasoline, diesel, and KHK-branded lubricants alongside vehicle maintenance, washing, and greasing services. KHK engine oils, gear oils, transmission fluids, and other automotive fluids are manufactured and packaged in Italy under ISO 9001-2008 certification, and are sold both at stations and through the company's e-commerce platform with cash-on-delivery. Distribution is anchored by a central purchasing and storage depot in Rufisque that supplies the retail network.

The business has been deliberately diversified beyond fuel into three branded service lines: LowPrice discount retail boutiques offering over 3,000 active product references across groceries, household goods, and personal care items in peripheral Dakar neighborhoods; Point Cash money transfer and withdrawal services operated through partnerships with Western Union, Money Gram, Ria, Wari, Joni Joni, Tigo, and PosteCash; and Teffess-gui, a multi-format restaurant brand covering dine-in, fast food, cafeteria, bakery, pastry, pizzeria, catering, and home delivery. This hub-style model converts each station into a one-stop destination for fuel, vehicle care, retail shopping, financial services, and food.

Revenue is generated across multiple streams: unit-priced sales of fuel and KHK lubricants (e.g., KHK ATF DEXRON III at 10,000 CFA per liter), discount retail sales through LowPrice boutiques, professional services for vehicle maintenance and washing, and transaction-based fees on money transfer services. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer physical stations with a mobile application on iOS and Android, a corporate e-commerce website, and organic social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Target customer segments span individual vehicle owners, professional and business fleet accounts, and budget-conscious shoppers in underserved peripheral neighborhoods. The company is privately held as EDK Oil S.A., with no public listing or disclosed funding history.
