Eroski sells fuel station network to Petroprix
Deal covers 40 sites as retailer shifts focus to core food retail business across Spain.
Eroski has agreed to sell its entire network of 40 service stations to Spanish low-cost operator Petroprix as part of a strategic move to refocus on its core food retail operations. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to regulatory approvals, though financial details were not disclosed.
The divestment reflects Eroski’s decision to concentrate resources on its supermarket and convenience formats, prioritizing proximity retail, fresh local products and operational efficiency. The company, headquartered in Elorrio, is consolidating its position following financial restructuring completed in 2025, which supported a return to growth.
Petroprix will integrate the acquired assets into its expanding automated fuel station network, increasing its total footprint to 245 locations across Spain, Portugal, Chile and Panama. The sites will strengthen its presence in multiple regions, including northern and southern Spain.
Eroski stated that the transaction aligns with broader shifts in the mobility and energy sectors, where increasing specialization is shaping operator strategies.
The cooperative also noted that the sale will not impact its food retail operations or customer experience in adjacent stores.During the transition period, operations at the service stations will continue as usual, with measures in place to ensure a smooth handover for employees and customers.
