IOL Sale FAQ – Esso™ Customer Questions
Imperial is gradually moving forward with a conversion of its remaining company-owned retail stations to a 100% Branded Wholesaler operating model. Many Esso stations across Canada are already operating under this model, and have been for years.
As an Esso customer, what does this sale mean to me?
You will still be able to purchase the same high-quality Product Solutions, and can continue to expect the same superior buying experience at your local Esso service stations. The loyalty programs at your local stations will also remain unchanged.
Is the Esso brand going away?
The Esso brand is not going away. We will simply be operating under the Branded Wholesaler model, a model that is already used by many of our stations across Canada. The familiar Esso oval will remain.

Will my local Esso be rebranded because of this sale?
