Giant Eagle selling GetGo gas stations in Ohio, West Virginia, and other states

Giant Eagle says they will be selling their GetGo gas stations to Couche-Tard.

In a press release, it says the sale is expected to close in 2025 pending approval from the FTC.

Couche-Tard, a Canadian-owned, multinational operator of convenience stores and gas stations, will take over approximately 3,500 employees and will operate approximately 270 convenience retail and fueling locations across Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana after acquiring GetGo.

“We are excited to welcome GetGo into the Couche-Tard family. As we learn more about the GetGo business, it is clear that it has built a strong and passionate customer base with high quality stores staffed by talented and engaged teams working to deliver a great experience. We have deep respect for its management and people as well as its outstanding food and loyalty programs. We look forward to growing together as we learn from and continue GetGo’s innovative approaches to serving its local customers and communities,” said Brian Hannasch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Couche-Tard.

“We are energized by the potential for both Giant Eagle and GetGo as a result of this transaction,” added Bill Artman, Chief Executive Officer of Giant Eagle. “This enhances our focus on our core supermarket and pharmacy businesses, strengthening Giant Eagle and better enabling us to make strategic investments in our people, stores, and value proposition while matching GetGo with the perfect partner in Couche-Tard. Their depth of experience in convenience stores and fuel will create tremendous opportunities for our team members and customers, and we look forward to partnering with them on the myPerks loyalty program.”

The two companies plan to partner together to continue the myPerks loyalty program.

Couche-Tard intends to keep all dedicated GetGo store, operations and support Team Members as part of the sale.
