Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related-Party Transactions | Related-Party Transactions We entered into two long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with SUSS, summarized as follows:
• | Distribution agreement - a 10-year agreement under which we will be the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to SUSS' existing Stripes® convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations, and to all future sites purchased by SUSP pursuant to the sale and leaseback option under the Omnibus Agreement, at cost, including tax and transportation costs, plus a fixed profit margin of three cents per gallon. In addition, all future motor fuel volumes purchased by SUSS for its own account will be added to the distribution agreement pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement.

Omnibus Agreement In addition to the commercial agreements described above, we also entered into an Omnibus Agreement with SUSS pursuant to which, among other things, we received a three-year option to purchase from SUSS up to 75 of SUSS' new or recently constructed Stripes® convenience stores at their cost and lease the stores back to them at a specified rate for a 15-year initial term, and SUSP will be the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to such stores for a period of ten years from the date of purchase. We also received a ten-year right to participate in acquisition opportunities with SUSS, to the extent SUSP and SUSS are able to reach an agreement on terms, and the exclusive right to distribute motor fuel to certain of SUSS' newly constructed convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations. In addition, we agreed to reimburse our general partner and its affiliates for the costs incurred in managing and operating SUSP.

Summary of Transactions The Partnership sells motor fuel to SUSS for resale at its Stripes® convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations. These sales are reflected in motor fuel sales to affiliates with the corresponding cost reflected in motor fuel cost of sales to affiliates. Motor fuel sales to affiliates of $45.8 million resulted in a gross profit of $0.4 million, for the six days ended September 30, 2012. Prior to September 25, 2012, we sold fuel to affiliates at a zero gross profit. Additionally, we collect credit card receipts from the motor fuel suppliers on SUSS' behalf. SUSS charged us $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012, and $1.3 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012 for oversight of the Partnership. Such amounts include certain expenses allocated by SUSS for general corporate services, such as finance, internal audit and legal services, which are included in general and administrative expense. These expenses were charged or allocated to the Partnership based on the nature of the expenses and our proportionate share of employee time and headcount, which management believes to be reasonable. The allocation methods used were consistently applied in all periods presented. For the periods covered by the Predecessor, rent expense was charged by SUSS on certain real estate which was in turn subleased by the Predecessor to dealers. This rent expense was $0.3 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012, and $0.8 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012. All charges are recorded to an intercompany accounts receivable, which does not bear interest. The balance in accounts receivable with affiliates was $106.6 million and $21.0 million at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, respectively.
