The first Lanka IOC fuel station was opened at the Cargills Food City – Wattala outlet on Wednesday, offering unprecedented convenience to customers.

Cargills (Ceylon) PLC Deputy Chairman Ranjit Page said: “they have had a longstanding relationship with Lanka IOC, as Cargills Express outlets were located at many of its fuel stations.

It aims to leverage further on this valuable relationship by venturing into retail sale of fuel in partnership with Lanka IOC, and plan to open a series of fuel stations at our Cargills Retail outlets across the country in 2023 – to become more than a supermarket chain adding convenience to customers.

The expansion into fuel retailing is yet another milestone in Cargills’ 179-year history, to build a sustainable and socially responsible business that touches the lives of millions of Sri Lankans every day.

Today, Cargills Retail has an island-wide reach of over 500 outlets across the length and breadth Sri Lanka.
