Dozens of Albuquerque Chevrons closing

At least a dozen Albuquerque Chevron convenience stores are shutting down, causing at least 150 people to lose their jobs.

ERO is a terrible company that treats their employees like dirt. Glad it came back around.

So who is going to take them over I wonder?

[Dirty Dick Handcock]

I don't think they are closing all of them .
The ready-mart chevrons I use in my area of town are only changing brands of gasoline that they sell..

I believe that the number is 30 stations in all.

Doesn't that mean they cannot retain the Chevron name on the station?

probably name change and fuel brand , but the ones on east side seem to still operate under new R/M logo

Chevron does the gas and logo. They do not run the Redi-Marts or own them. A separate entity. Therefore, their logo has to be taken down with a change in brand and gasoline. The stations don't want to be sued for false advertising, so to speak. They got a better deal on gasoline and changed "brands"/additives.

Check out the "New...Change is Coming" signs on some of those Redi-Marts. And now the new station names that have taken over. Can't remember the moniker off-hand as I won't use their gas.

Me either, their gas doesn't give me any better or worse mileage than the other brands I've tried so far.
