Casino, the France-based supermarket group has bought back forecourt sites at 59 of its supermarkets and hypermarkets from oil giant Shell. Casino is hoping to boost sales at the forecourts. Under the terms of the new agreement, Casino will operate all service stations at its food retail stores. A previous agreement between the two firms, whereby Casino supplies Shell with products not located at its stores, remains unaffected.
