The staffed Avia petrol station on De Weer in Zaandam is back in operation. The petrol station unexpectedly closed its pumps in mid-May after Driesprong Brandstoffen Exploitatie went into liquidation. The petrol station will continue to operate as part of Mali Brandstoffen BV, based in Krommenie.

This is reported by De Orkaan. According to the website Company.info, D. van Gerven is the new managing director of Mali Brandstoffen BV, which now owns the Avia petrol station in Zaandam. Under the previous operator, he was in charge of the branch on De Weer and, according to De Orkaan, he is now said to have taken over the business himself. Following the bankruptcy of Driesprong Brandstoffen Exploitatie (SO Retail) on 19 May 2026, the pumps were shut down and the petrol station shops closed not only at the Avia on De Weer but also at the Avia on Hof van Zaenden in Zaandam. Whilst Avia De Weer is now making a fresh start, Avia Hof van Zaenden remains closed.

Driesprong Brandstoffen Exploitatie has not responded to questions from Mobility Energy regarding the reasons for the bankruptcy and a possible relaunch.

SO Retail is a family-run business based in Alphen that operates both Avia (staffed) and Avia XPress (unstaffed) petrol stations in North and South Holland and Utrecht. The company is a member of the Avia Nederland cooperative, which, alongside SO Retail, comprises Achilles Brandstoffen Maatschappij, Avia Marees, Avia Vollenhoven and Avia Weghorst. In the Netherlands, the chain operates a total of 400 petrol stations.
