MVP to drive growth in commercial fuels and propane across North Dakota region
Missouri Valley Petroleum, Inc. (MVP), a petroleum products distributor with operations throughout North Dakota, announced today it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Parkland USA, a subsidiary of Parkland Fuel Corporation, Canada’s largest and one of North America’s fastest growing independent suppliers and marketers of fuel and petroleum products.
MVP is a preferred provider of fuel, propane and lubricants throughout North Dakota with headquarters in Mandan, N.D. MVP operates three bulk plant terminals co-located with cardlocks in Williston, Belfield, and Mandan, and owns and operates six retail sites with convenience stores located in Mandan, Rugby and Bismarck.
“As third generation owners, today’s news is time for reflection and excitement. We believe Parkland represents a vision and business model that will be in the best long-term interest of MVP’s employees, customers and suppliers. Our name will continue to be represented in the market. We will continue serving and building our local relationships as a major part of the fabric of the North Dakota and the regional communities we serve, as we have for more than 70 years,” said Dave Froelich, MVP President. “Now, we will have the added benefit and resources of a nationally-respected industry partner, to help us grow organically in the state.”
Under the terms of the MVP Agreement, Parkland has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of MVP in addition to certain real estate assets used in the operation of the business.
“MVP represents an opportunity for Parkland USA to grow within its existing footprint in North Dakota and expand our offering into the commercial fueling and propane markets. These business lines provide us with a strong organic growth opportunity that we do not address today through our existing retail and wholesale fuel operations in North Dakota,” stated Dan Dunstan, Director of Sales and Operations of Parkland USA.
