McDougall Energy is expanding its southern Ontario holdings with the acquisition of Rosen Energy Group of Kingston.
Sault Ste. Marie-based McDougall said the move would enable it to move into new communities, including Kingston, Gananoque, Greater Napanee and the surrounding area.
Rosen, which has been serving the Kingston area since 1875, will operate under the McDougall Energy banner as its Kingston office.
The deal is scheduled to close on May 31, 2021.
