The fuel retail market in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, is seeing activity from both wholesale and brand-specific operators. Assaí Atacadista has entered an agreement to acquire 18 fuel stations located at its stores through a deal with Centro de Conveniências Millennium, valued at up to R$ 80 million. This acquisition is intended as a pilot project to diversify services and potentially expand to over 100 stations.

Simultaneously, Texaco has expanded its presence in the region with the opening of a new service station in Valinhos, within the Campinas metropolitan area. Operated by Rede Vem in partnership with Ipiranga, this station marks a continuation of the brand’s return to the Brazilian market, which began in 2024.
