Re: Petrol Station Owners
New sign is going up on the Salisbury East site. Old coles express sign is down by Clovercrest. Did Salisbury East have a roadhouse at one stage , I know the Smithfield East one did.
Re: Petrol Station Owners
I think I'm up to having passed about eight of the sites being rebranded to Caltex. Are there any Coles Express sites in Adelaide that will not become Caltex? Has there been any change there?

Do you know if they will stay as Coles Express, or be rebranded as Shell-OTR?

Re: Petrol Station Owners
I've heard Viva will be rebranding most of the interstate Coles Express to OTR (and maybe some will be sold off to Caltex), so I would imagine these would too, given most, if not all, of these remaining sites don't have a nearby OTR that I'm aware of.

Re: Petrol Station Owners
The deal to buy OTR required disposal of 25 sites in SA (24 in Adelaide, 1 in Ceduna) - it turns out these were all Coles Express sites. I presume they were identified through a perception of market concentration. The Smithfield East site for example has TWO OTR's just up the road in Smithfield, as well as one a few kilometres away in Munno Para and another in Davoren Park.I was surprised they didn't dump the smaller Smithfield OTR and keep the Coles Express so they had both sides of Main North Road.neoballmon wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 12:06 amI've heard Viva will be rebranding most of the interstate Coles Express to OTR (and maybe some will be sold off to Caltex), so I would imagine these would too, given most, if not all, of these remaining sites don't have a nearby OTR that I'm aware of.

Re: Petrol Station Owners
I believe the remaining Coles expresses go to Reddy branding before some get upgraded to otr. The sites that are not upgraded remain as Reddy.
Re: Petrol Station Owners
Many AM PM servos around Adelaide metropolitan area have switched from Ampol fuel to BP fuel including at Elizabeth and Mawson Lakes
Re: Petrol Station Owners
Had there been a mixture and they are switching to all one brand? Blakeview, Willaston and Roseworthy have always been BP.

Re: Petrol Station Owners
This is a big concern for competition in the local market.
The ACCC should be replaced with a new body with teeth.

Re: Petrol Station Owners
Before this acquisition, were there any BP-owned fuel outlets in South Australia? If not, this transaction doesn't change the number of competitors. OTR bought a lot, if not all, BP-owned outlets a decade ago.ChillyPhilly wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2024 4:07 pmThis is a big concern for competition in the local market.

The previous transaction mentioned in the article DID make some difference, as Viva bought OTR and already owned Liberty and Coles Express. ACCC required Viva to divest 25 Coles Express outlets to Caltex, who had not been in the SA market, so there has been no net change to the number of brand/operators. Liberty and OTR appear to be continuing as separate businesses, even though they are owned by the same parent. Does Viva only own the Liberty brand, but the outlets are independently owned?
Are we going to see OTR change from BP to Shell brand fuel?
