Crevier Group buys Gaz-O-Bar
Test
MONTREAL, QUEBEC
Crevier Group has announced its acquisition of independent oil and service station network, Gaz-O-Bar.
“We are excited to welcome 33 new service stations to our large distribution network and enhance our service in a region that is par- ticularly close to our hearts and with which we have maintained close business ties for 25 years,” said Jean-François Crevier, president of the Crevier Group.
Crevier Group says it wanted to expand its commercial activities in Canada and consolidate its position in Quebec, especially in the Lower St. Lawrence and Gaspe regions.
“It was very important for Gaz-O- Bar and the community to find a reli- able, growing partner who shares the same values and who will ensure the network’s future and further devel-
opment,” said Bernard Cote, presi- dent of the Gaz-O-Bar Group.
The deal includes commercial cardlocks as well as corporate and affiliated sites. Gaz-O-Bar says it will continue to ensure manage- ment of service station convenience stores in Trois-Pistoles, Rivière-du- Loup, Dégelis, Rimouski, Pointe- au-Père, Matane, and Mont-Saint- Hilaire, and will continue its other commercial activities, including distribution of heating oil and trans- portation of petroleum products.
A comprehensive network analysis will be conducted over the next few months to determine branding, posi- tioning, and investment strategies to maximize synergies from this acqui- sition, Crevier Group announced. Some sites will be converted to Cre- vier, while others will retain the Gaz- O-Bar brand. TN
