Morgan Fuels explained that through this acquisition, “Bay City Energy will continue to operate under its name, as Morgan Fuels begins to provide additional fuel and lubricant offerings from the Atikokan area across Thunder Bay and east to the Geraldton area. 
“Bay City Energy customers will continue to be serviced by the Company’s Thunder Bay based team, maintaining the reputation that has been built over the years.   No service interruptions are anticipated during this transition.”
