Meijer sheds gas stations, c-stores in Grand Rapids area

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.  — Meijer has sold five Grand Rapids-area gas stations and convenience stores to Citgo Petroleum Corporation and Citgo Marketer American Gas and Oil.



Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.



“These new locations are a great asset for American Gas and Oil and Citgo, and we look forward to providing quality service for our customers,” stated Jason Berris, president of AGO. “We’ve been working closely with Meijer to make this a smooth transition for both customers and employees. As a growing company, we’re extremely proud to announce that all employees at these five new Citgo stations will either maintain their jobs at these locations or with Meijer.”



The new Citgo-branded fueling stations are in operation, following a two-day change-over period. Grand opening celebrations and community open houses will be planned for later this spring at the new locations, according to Citgo.
