SAO PAULO, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Brazilian food retailer GPA SA has put its network of gas stations up for sale, one source with knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.
The source confirmed a report earlier on Thursday by Brazilian financial blog Brazil Journal, which said GPA may fetch up to 1 billion reais ($245 million) for the gas stations and that Banco Bradesco’s investment banking unit has the mandate. GPA press representatives did not immediately comment on the matter ($1 = 4.0766 reais) (Reporting by Tatiana Bautzer and Gabriela Mello Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)
