A 65-year-old service station owner in Melbourne's north has barricaded himself inside his store, claiming company bosses are trying to forcibly evict him.

Frank Eid has owned the APCO outlet in Epping for 15 years and also owns another store in Thomastown.

With his health failing, Mr Eid has tried to sell both businesses to APCO so he can retire.

However he claims the company only offered him half that amount and the dispute turned ugly after he refused their offer.

He also claims bosses arrived at the Epping store at 1am last Thursday and turned off the petrol pumps and electricity.

They installed fences around the perimeter of the property so no customers could get inside and did the same thing at the Thomastown outlet.

Mr Eid said a scuffle with APCO representatives broke out after he managed to barricade himself inside the Epping store.

He has spent the past four nights sleeping on a bench next to the window and estimates he’s already lost around $20,000 worth of fridge and freezer stock.

An APCO representative has told 9NEWS that it is a "complicated situation" and that there are "two sides to every story".
