Default Shell Petrol Station with IGA Local

A Shell Petrol Station in Clayton Vic was closed for a few months and underwent a facelift.
Previously it had some workshop bays now it is an IGA Local selling Shell Petrol.

One of those in Greenvale on Mickleham Rd, it's a Liberty servo with an IGA, first time I've seen something like that.

It's a nice touch.

A lot of Shells will become OTR (on the run) in the next few years after the Shahin family sold the franchise to Viva Energy.

Hi. I wonder if the marriage between Coles and Shell is falling apart. I noticed that the Coles express at Hallam is now a “Reddy express” and a few of the newer Shell servos are not even branded with the Coles name. Cheers MD

Coles and Woolies are on the nose.with some people.
Maybe some of the private operators are distancing themselves from them.

Pretty sure Coles said a while back that they want to get out of petrol.
