Description of Business

Our business consists of:

 

the wholesale distribution of motor fuels;

 

the owning or leasing of retail sites used in the retail distribution of motor fuels and, in turn, generating rental income from the lease or sublease of the retail sites;

 

the retail sale of motor fuels to end customers at retail sites operated by commission agents and, since April 14, 2020, ourselves; and

 

since April 14, 2020, the operation of retail sites, including the sale of convenience merchandise to end customers. We had no company operated sites from September 30, 2019 through April 14, 2020.

The financial statements reflect the consolidated results of the Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries:

 

LGW and CAPL JKM Wholesale, which distribute motor fuels on a wholesale basis and generate qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

LGPR, which functions as our real estate holding company and holds assets that generate qualifying rental income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

LGWS, which owns and leases (or leases and sub-leases) real estate and personal property used in the retail sale of motor fuels, as well as provides maintenance and other services to its customers. In addition, LGWS sells motor fuel on a retail basis at sites operated by commission agents. Since our acquisition of retail and wholesale assets that closed on April 14, 2020, LGWS also sells motor fuels on a retail basis and sells convenience merchandise items to end customers at company operated retail sites. Income from LGWS generally is not qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and

 

Joe’s Kwik Marts, which owns and leases real estate and personal property at our company operated sites that we recently acquired from 7-Eleven. Joe’s Kwik Marts also sells motor fuels on a retail basis and sells convenience merchandise items to end customers. Income from Joe’s Kwik Marts generally is not qualifying income under Sections 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code.
