STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 07, 2017 -- Star Gas Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership” or “Star”) (NYSE:SGU), a home energy distributor and services provider, today announced the acquisition of two businesses that further expand its customer base and, in one case, its geographic footprint. The Partnership purchased certain assets of one entity in Imlay City, Michigan and another located in Plainview, New York. The former serves approximately 3,000 accounts with annual volume (propane and motor fuel) of 3.8 million gallons, while the latter has roughly 16,800 accounts with annual volume (heating oil, propane, and motor fuel) of approximately 15.5 million gallons. Additional terms were not disclosed.
“We are very pleased to announce these latest additions to the Star Gas family,” said Steven J. Goldman, Star Gas Partners’ Chief Executive Officer. “Both companies bring quality customers to the Partnership, bolster our presence across key geographic regions, and strengthen our offerings – particularly with regard to propane and motor fuel. We continue to seek out financially attractive operations that can add to our brands and improve our long-term growth outlook, and we look forward to having such well-run organizations under our umbrella.”
