Shell Sells Jiffy Lube Network for $1.3B, Secures Long-Term Supply Deal
Shell will sell Jiffy Lube International and Premium Velocity Auto to Monomoy Capital Partners for $1.3 billion, exiting the U.S. quick-lube service business while retaining a long-term lubricants supply arrangement. The divestment, closing in the second half of 2026, monetizes a non-core asset and supports reinvestment in higher-return operations.
1. Deal Overview
Shell has agreed to sell Jiffy Lube International and its subsidiary Premium Velocity Auto to an affiliate of Monomoy Capital Partners for $1.3 billion. The transaction includes over 360 PVA-operated service centers across 20 states and exits Shell’s U.S. quick-lube service business.
2. Strategic Rationale and Financial Impact
The divestment enables Shell to monetize a non-core retail service asset that accounts for approximately 6.5% of its North American lubricants volume. Proceeds will be redeployed into higher-return downstream and energy solutions initiatives, aligning with the company’s portfolio optimization strategy.
3. Supply Agreement and Closing Conditions
As part of the deal, Shell will enter a long-term lubricants supply arrangement with Monomoy, ensuring continued demand for its core brands including Pennzoil and Quaker State. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
