Succeeding together: the Husky opportunity

Husky and Mohawk retailers play a major role in our retail success, which is why we've created unique models for retailers to run their businesses effectively and profitably. There are two models for doing business with Husky: corporate or independent.

Corporate retailers

Lease a facility from Husky.
Sell fuel on commission.
Pay a percentage rent on the merchandise they sell.
Agree to operate according to Husky standards.

The financial model offered to corporate retailers in Husky's marketing outlet lease delivers the potential for higher-than-industry-average returns.

Independent retailers

Generally own their own facility.
Own their own fuel.
Agree to operate according to Husky standards.
Do not pay rent or a sales percentage.
