Veenema Energy, based in Sneek, will take over the operation of the Esso petrol station on Groningerstraatweg in Leeuwarden from the EG Fuel Group with effect from 1 September 2026. The petrol station will be completely refurbished, after which it will continue to operate under the Texaco Xpress brand.

Veenema Energy says it is “particularly proud” to be taking over the petrol station. According to the company, the “Luwadder petrol station” will open this autumn with “sharply competitive prices”. The station is situated in a prime location in the Frisian capital and will be fully modernised and refurbished to reflect the latest Texaco Xpress branding. In addition, the product range – which currently includes diesel, Euro 95 and Euro 98 – will be expanded to include AdBlue and HVO100. With this takeover, Veenema Energy says it is strengthening its position in the northern Netherlands even further.

Veenema Energy operates eight petrol stations in the province of Friesland: two in Sneek, as well as stations in Leeuwarden, Kollumerzwaag, Lemmer, Oudehorne, Veenwouden and on the Wadden Island of Vlieland. Six of the stations are Texaco Xpress outlets, one is an Esso Express, and the station on Lorentzstraat in Sneek is a manned Esso with a shop and bakery.

Family business

The history of the family-run business Veenema Energy began in 1935 when Fokke Veenema set up Veenema Oliehandel in Sneek. Since 1990, the company has been run by the brothers Arnold, Freddy and Harold Veenema. As of 2026, it is a supplier of fuels, lubricants, chemical products, industrial gases and cleaning products for transport, agriculture (mechanisation), industry, construction/earthworks, garages, water sports and leisure.
