AUSTRALIAN supermarket giant Woolworths Ltd on Friday said that it was considering offers to buy its petrol station chain in a deal said to be worth more than US$1 billion, extending an asset sell-off as it shores up its core grocery business.
The sale would broaden a divestment programme under new chief executive officer Brad Banducci as he refocuses on the grocery business amid a price war with Coles, owned by Wesfarmers Ltd, and Germany's ALDI Inc.
