Vento halts fuel sales at 41 Moldovan stations
The retailer paused dispensing following an official order on measuring systems, while sites in Chișinău, Bălți and across Moldova stay open for other services.
Vento has temporarily suspended fuel sales at 41 of its stations in Moldova, following an order issued by the authorities on the use of measuring systems. The stations remain open for their other services. “The suspension concerns fuel sales, not the complete closure of the stations,” the company said.
The affected sites are in Chișinău and Bălți, as well as towns in the north, center and south of the country, including the autonomous territorial unit of Gagauzia. Vento did not name the institution that issued the order, describe the problems identified or give a date for resuming sales. It said it will post updates and has set up a 24/7 customer hotline.
Vento operates 91 stations in Moldova, meaning the measure affects almost half of its network. The chain is run by Vento Retail, owned by brothers Igor and Adrian Borș. The company reported 2025 revenue of about 2.04 billion lei (around €100 million) and a profit of about 24 million lei.
