the New EKO Smile App Competition!

Starring the award-winning EKO Smile app, and hosted by Andri Karantoni, the fourth EKO Smile Challenge took place as part of the New EKO Smile App Competition. This is a groundbreaking way -by Cypriot standards- to determine each winner!

On Tuesday, February 25, 2025, Christia Mallouri won a Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package, worth €49,100, after successfully completing three challenges (memory, knowledge, and skills). Throughout the challenges, executives and members of EKO Cyprus’ management and staff, as well as friends and family of the contestants, were present.

The fourth EKO Smile Challenge concluded the EKO Smile App Competition in a specially designed and fully equipped space at the Mercedes Showroom in Nicosia, where the CEO of EKO Cyprus, Mr. Grigoras, handed over the fourth Mercedes-Benz GLA 180, Advanced Package, to the winner. Once again, the evening’s host, Andri Karantoni, coordinated the challenge process, which included the games "Find the Symbols", "EKO Knowledge" and "EKO Puzzle" announcing the winner’s name at the end.

It is worth noting that the selection process for contestants took place on Monday, February 17, 2025, via the online platform random.org, which ensures no human intervention in the selection process. The procedure was conducted by the Mayor of Latsia and Geri, Mr. Christos Pittaras, in the presence of an independent Legal Advisor -to ensure transparency- and EKO Cyprus management staff.

Successfully concluding the EKO Smile Challenge, the CEO of EKO Cyprus, Mr. Giorgos Grigoras, stated:‘The warm response that our customers showed to the EKO Smile app inspires us to continuously evolve our reward initiatives, offering unique experiences for them. With consistency and a strong focus on innovation, EKO Smile has established itself as a key element for enhancing the shopping experience as well as strengthening our trusting bond with the public. At EKO Cyprus, customer rewards and high-quality service lie at the core of our strategy, and we are committed to continuing our investment in initiatives that promote loyalty, reliability, and excellence’.

It is important to note that participation in each EKO Smile Challenge was exclusively available to those who had installed the EKO Smile app on their mobile devices!

A few words about the EKO Smile App

The EKO Smile App was introduced to the Cypriot market in 2020 and is a smart and complete digital solution for mobile phones. It is a fully functional and popular app that is available to download on Google Play, App Store and Αpp Gallery. In the last five years, the app has continuously been upgraded to improve the purchasing experience of the users, making every purchase even easier than before.

Amongst other things, the EKO Smile App gives the user the power to release the pump at the service station and pay for fuel and other products and services from a distance. The app also collects Smiles for its users, earned with every purchase of any product or service at all EKO service stations. Smiles can then be redeemed to purchase various products at reduced and attractive prices.
