UFA Opens New Cardlock Fuel Site in Outlook, Saskatchewan

United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) has opened a new Cardlock and Bulk Petroleum site in Outlook, Saskatchewan, expanding access to fuel and lubricants for agricultural producers, transportation companies and commercial operators in the region.

The facility, located near Highway 15, is part of UFA’s broader strategy to grow its footprint across Western Canada and invest in communities tied to agriculture and rural economic activity. UFA said Outlook was chosen for the site because of its strong agricultural base, significant irrigation infrastructure, and position along a key transportation corridor.

What the New Site Offers

The location is built to serve both farm and commercial customers, offering regular and premium gasoline, regular and premium diesel, and UFA’s Dieselex Gold premium diesel. It also provides diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) at the pump, high-speed fuelling lanes with satellite dispensers, and wide-access lanes designed for larger agricultural equipment and commercial vehicles. UFA and Shell-branded lubricants are also sold at the site.

UFA President and CEO Fred Thun said reliable fuel access is critical to the success of agriculture, transportation and rural businesses, adding that the investment reflects the co-operative’s commitment to supporting a growing region and strengthening services for its members and customers.

Supporting Rural Operations

UFA noted that the new Outlook site joins its expanding network of petroleum locations across Western Canada, and said it will help ensure producers, trucking fleets and rural businesses have fuelling access close to where they operate.

For Saskatchewan farmers, convenient fuel access can carry particular weight during busy planting, spraying and harvest seasons, when downtime can be costly. Sites that can accommodate large equipment and offer high-speed fuelling may help support operational efficiency during these peak periods.

The Outlook location will be supported by local Petroleum Agent Scott Anderson, who has more than 25 years of agricultural experience and ties to the surrounding farming community. Raised in the region, Anderson is expected to play a key role in serving local producers and businesses.
