OTR, formerly On the Run, is an Australian chain of petrol stations and convenience stores based in South Australia.

OTR is an umbrella brand of 24-hour convenience stores coupled with service stations owned and operated by Viva Energy.

Many OTR outlets operate alongside other brands such as Subway, Wok in a Box, Oporto, Hungry Jack's, Guzman y Gomez and Krispy Kreme.

[3] By January 1999, the Shahin family owned and operated four drive-thru standalone convenience stores and thirteen fuel service stations in the Adelaide metropolitan area.

[21] In April 2023, Viva Energy, who owned the Shell brand in Australia, announced it would acquire OTR from Peregrine Corporation for A$1.15 billion.

[22][23] The transaction was subject to Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) clearance.

[25] The ACCC cleared the transaction in December 2023, conditional upon Viva Energy disposing of 25 sites in South Australia to Chevron which happened in February 2024.

In exchange, Viva Energy would receive 13 Chevron sites (Caltex) located in Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia.

[4][32][33] The Shahin family had been opposed to the application and the subsequent June 2001 registration of trade mark 797721, arguing that it had already intended to use the On the Run brand before Mobil's application in June 1999, with evidence of its development of Shahin's On the Run brand and the registration of the business name in the few months prior.

Charities who've benefitted from OTR Give include Foodbank, Guide Dogs SA/NT, CFS Foundation, Variety, Canteen, Royal Flying Doctor Service and RSPCA.

Nasmin Pty Ltd, owned by the Shahin family, was fined $28,000 in April 2016 for the dumping of 2,000 tonnes of soil (some of it slightly contaminated) on its farm taken from the redevelopment of an On The Run store in Plympton.

[37][38] In 2018, the chain received criticism from consumers and environmental groups for a decision to ban reusable coffee cups due to a contamination incident at one of their stores.

In March 2020, the Federal Court had upheld a separate decision by South Australia's Employment Tribunal to award A$2,342 to an OTR employee who had been underpaid.

[42][43] In August 2020 Peregrine was ordered by the South Australian Employment Tribunal to pay A$65,000 to an employee after being found to have deliberately underpaid him over the period of about a year in 2016, at an OTR at Fulham.
