Joe is about ready to turn on the pumps for Gulf Oil again!
The following is sourced and aggregated from The Boston Globe for the complete article please see the official post at the link below:
Cumberland Farms is selling its Gulf Oil wholesale fuel distribution business to a Boston private equity firm for more than $800 million, a person involved with the deal said.
The buyer is ArcLight Capital Partners, which specializes in energy businesses and has invested $13 billion in companies since its inception in 2001. ArcLight has retained Joe Petrowski, the former chief executive of Gulf and a longtime energy industry veteran, to help with the business.
ArcLight did not return a call seeking comment Thursday, but Petrowski said that, “Gulf is a great collection of assets and a tremendous group of people. I know there are many firms that would be interested in it.”
Cumberland Farms said it does not comment on “ongoing strategic and operating matters.” But the person involved in the deal said Cumberland Farms is selling the petroleum business to concentrate on upgrading its convenience stores, which total nearly 600 outlets in eight states.
The story was originally sourced from Convenience Store News:
