CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s Canadian unit said it is closing 21 bulk fuel stations in Manitoba after it failed to find a buyer for the businesses.
Shell Canada said the 21 agency locations in the western Canadian province sell bulk fuel and lubricants, and have cardlock operations, unattended fuel stations used by transport trucks and others.
The company said it had tried to sell the businesses but the only interested buyer couldn’t come up with a viable offer.
The shutdown does not affect Shell’s 75 other retail and cardlock sites in the province or its aviation fuel businesses.
The 21 bulk stations will closed by November 16.
