Brookfield Business Partners Closes Acquisition of Loblaw Gas Stations

TORONTO — Brookfield Business Partners LP has closed its transaction to acquire Loblaw Cos. Ltd.’s gas-station operations for approximately $540 million ($427.5 million U.S.).

The network is one of the largest in Canada and includes 213 retail gas stations and associated convenience kiosks adjacent to Loblaw-owned grocery stores across the country.

The gas stations will be rebranded Mobil as part of an agreement with Imperial Oil, marking the introduction of the Mobil fuel brand into Canada. The company expects to start the rebranding process by early fall. The gas stations will continue to allow customers to collect PC points through Loblaw’s PC Plus loyalty program and by using PC Financial products.

Brampton, Ontario-based Loblaw offers grocery, pharmacy, health and beauty, apparel, general merchandise, banking, and wireless mobile products and services through more than 2,300 corporate, franchised and associate-owned locations.

Brookfield Business Partners, Toronto, is a business services and industrial company focused on owning and operating businesses that benefit from barriers to entry or low production costs.

About jota

QOD

Located on the front page of our national website is a field called “Question Of The Day” (QOD). Each day we post a different question about the products and services that are presented through our website. The answer to this question can be found on one of our partner’s web pages. Our members will navigate through the preferred vendors page to find the answer to your question while subconsciously educating themselves about your company! AATAC effectively selects members who answer the question correctly to win rewards which include; rebates, complimentary services, cash, promotional offers from vendors, prizes, giveaways, etc. *Your QOD should be 1-2 sentences in length and can not name a specific product or company within the question.

Here are some examples:

Which preferred vendor offers your customers a 99% accurate drug test that reads results in five minutes?

One of our partner’s provides important compliance training classes in a virtual setting for a low cost. Who is it?

Your Vendor Category

When your logo and redirect are added to our preferred vendors catalog it offers two very important elements to members:

It tells them that your company has been vetted and approved for business within our network.

It encourages them to visit your website where they can learn more about your company.

*IMPORTANT:

It is recommended that you use your main homepage or general information page for the logo redirect.

Your category will be verified for “best fit” before being placed.

Vendors may not be placed in multiple categories.
