Sunoco LP announced that one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries has completed the acquisition of Denny Oil’s retail convenience store assets and wholesale fuel business for approximately USD53 million.

The acquisition includes six company-operated locations and wholesale fuel supply contracts for a network of approximately 120 independent dealer-owned and dealer-operated locations and a commercial fuels business in the Eastern Texas and Louisiana markets. The business distributes approximately 90 million gallons of retail and wholesale fuel annually.
