EG Australia is the Australian subsidiary of British company EG Group which operates the EG Ampol chain of petrol stations, selling Ampol (formerly Caltex Australia) fuel at its stations. As of October 2022[update], there are over 540 EG Ampol petrol stations. The service stations were acquired from Woolworths in April 2019 for $1.72 billion.[2]
Before the sale, the chain traded as Woolworths Plus Petrol (1996–2003) and Caltex Woolworths (2003–2022). In Victoria, the chain traded as Caltex Safeway until the mid-2010s after Woolworths scrapped the Safeway name in late 2008. Since the sale, the Woolworths-branded service stations were progressively rebranded into EG stations, ultimately rebranding to EG Ampol between July and December 2022.[3][4]
