Shell to Double U.S. Retail Network With Tri-Star Deal


   
   SECAUCUS, NJ (DTN) - Shell announced Tuesday (9/1) it will more than double 
its network of U.S. convenience stores with the acquisition of Tri Star Energy.

   The expansion was made possible by a 100% widening of the stake held in Tri 
Star by Equilon Enterprises, which operates as Shell Oil Products U.S., a Shell 
statement said.

   Equilon previously owned 33% of Tri Star, a Nashville-based convenience 
store operator and fuel distributor operating across the southeastern United 
States.

"The acquisition makes Shell the full owner of an additional 320 fuel and 
convenience retail sites in Tennessee and surrounding states, as well as supply 
agreements with 552 more dealer-owned locations," the statement added.
