This August, the sale of Husky and Cenovus travel centres to BVD Petroleum Inc. was finalized following regulatory clearance from Canada’s Competition Bureau.
This 18-month divestment concludes the Husky brand's long-standing presence in the retail market, signalling a significant transition as former Husky and Cenovus locations rebrand under BVD Petroleum.
This strategic divestment reshapes the Canadian retail fuel landscape, with Calgary-based Cenovus Energy Inc. now pivoting its focus toward its core upstream and refining operations, as detailed in its recent record-breaking quarterly financial reports.
BVD operates Petro-Canada and Petro-Pass branded fuelling stations and Cenovus operates Esso branded stations. BVD agreed to sell its Petro-Canada gas station and Petro-Pass cardlock facility to a buyer approved by the Commissioner of Competition.
BVD operates 89 locations across six provinces: 31 in Ontario, 28 in Alberta, 14 in British Columbia, eight in Manitoba, six in Saskatchewan and two in New Brunswick.
“After many years of serving Canada’s professional driving and commercial fuel customers, Husky/Cenovus Travel Centres are transitioning to BVD Petroleum,” the Husky / Cenovus Commercial Fuels & Operations Team said in a release on its website.
According to the release, all Husky and Cenovus locations will no longer operate under the Esso brand, and the Cenovus Key to the Highway program will end. Key to the Highway cards will no longer be accepted after the transition date.
