Suncor also said it will conduct a strategic review of its downstream retail business, which includes approximately 1,500 Petro-Canada fuel stations.“The board's review of the retail business builds on our long-standing commitment to openly consider alternatives to enhance shareholder value and will help ensure the company is well positioned for even greater success and value creation in the future,” said Suncor Chair Michael Wilson in a press release Monday.

Goodbye Retail start the bidding
