Petroleum retailing has undergone dramatic changes in the last decade.  It is one of the most highly competitive - and increasingly complex - retail industries in Canada.  The neighbourhood gas station has changed forever.  Petroleum marketing and retailing has evolved from a limited-hour, relatively predictable business, to a 24 hour-a-day ever-changing endeavour.  The industry is capital-intense, technologically complex and makes significant management demands on those that participate in it.

​

Individual site owners, regional network operators and large corporations involved in the retail petroleum industry are all grappling with: 

• Improved competition

• Increased reliance on convenience store revenue and food partner alliances for profitability

• Constantly evolving product offerings

• Staffing challenges

• Shrinking fuel margins

• An increasingly onerous development approval process
