Shell Moves to Exit French Fuel Retail Market in Strategic Pivot

Shell plans to sell its network of about 60 service stations in France in a deal that could be finalized early next year, French daily Les Echos reported on Tuesday, quoting a communication the UK-based supermajor has shared with the affected employees, suppliers, and concessionaires.

Shell expects to find a buyer for its French service station network in the third quarter of this year, the company told workers’ unions last month, Les Echos reports.
