Offen Petroleum Strengthens its Ozark Region With Acquisition of Petromark
DENVER, May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Offen Petroleum ("Offen"), a leading independent fuel distributor, announced today that it is acquiring the business assets of Petromark, Inc., a motor fuel distributor, and Petromark Transportation, LLC, its affiliate trucking company, both headquartered in Harrison, AR (together as "Petromark"). Offen is a provider of motor fuel, propane, lubricants, and petroleum logistics services in 23 states in the Midwest and Western U.S. The business combination further expands Offen's footprint more deeply into Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
Petromark is owned jointly by Stephen Lair and Steve Turner and is a significant wholesaler of motor fuels in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. The company sells branded motor fuels under the Shell, Phillips 66, Valero, Sinclair, Conoco and VP Racing banners while also selling unbranded motor fuel to retailers. Steve Turner will be an advisor to Offen Petroleum and will assist with the continued growth of the business.
"I am very pleased that we are able to add such a successful business to further the growth of Offen Petroleum. Petromark is a perfect fit to the Ozark Mountain Energy business, which we acquired in December of last year," said Bill Gallagher, CEO of Offen Petroleum. "Petromark allows us the opportunity to strengthen our contract dealer business and deepen our presence in the Ozark Region. Additionally, I am pleased that Steve Turner will be joining us to share his wealth of experience, knowledge and dedication to his customers that has made his company so successful."
The transaction is expected to be completed on May 18th with combined operations under the Offen Petroleum name starting on May 19th.
"Stephen and I have enjoyed the experience of operating in both the retail and wholesale fuel businesses through the years and we are pleased that a company, such as Offen, with the same dedication to operational excellence will continue to serve our valued customers," said Steve Turner. "I look forward to working with Bill and his team as we jointly grow this business."
