Parkland USA president Doug Haugh said: “We continue to build momentum in the U.S. and advance our growth strategy.

“These acquisitions expand our presence in high-growth regions and provide additional opportunities to leverage our On the Run convenience store brand and increase our supply and distribution capabilities.

“We see an attractive pipeline of opportunities and are well-positioned for further growth.”

The acquisition of Carter should conclude in the fourth quarter of 2020, while Story deal should close in early 2021.
