Convenient stores operator Parkland has agreed to acquire the assets of Story Distributing Company and Carter Oil Company and their affiliates in the US.
The company entered the transaction through its wholly owned US subsidiaries Parkland USA.
With these deals, Parkland will acquire 13 company retail sites and around 40 retail dealers. It also includes capabilities related to commercial fuel and lubricant distribution.
Headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, Story offers retail and commercial fuel business and it will expand its presence in the high-growth Montana and Idaho markets.
Based in Flagstaff, Arizona, Carter will complement Parkland’s operation in Utah and Arizona and expands footprints in the high-growth Northern Arizona region.
The addition of these two businesses is expected to increase annual fuel and petroleum product volume by approximately 275 million litres.
