Mobil Oil Fiji has confirmed that Carpenters has given notice under their agreement that they plan to cease operating Mobil’s retail service station sites in Fiji.
This has been confirmed by Mobil Oil Fiji business support manager, Yvoneta Singh.
Ms Singh said under the agreement, Carpenters Motors operates 21 Mobil retail service stations sites in Fiji.
“Carpenters has given notice under their agreement with Mobil that they plan to cease operating these sites,” she said.
Ms Singh said following this notice, Mobil Oil Fiji is now exploring options as Carpenters plans to leave next month, which is just around the corner.
“Mobil remains committed to making sure this is a seamless transition and minimise any disruption for our customers during this transition,” she said.
“Mobil has had more than 100 years of relationship and we continue to maintain that.”
Carpenters had not responded to questions requested to be emailed when this edition was printed last night.
