Lassus Bros. Oil Inc. is looking to sell its Ohio convenience stores. NRC Realty and Capital Advisors LLC said on Thursday it had been retained to coordinate the sale of the five c-stores with gas.
The Ohio convenience stores up for sale are at 419 E. Main St., Delta; 107 E. Main St., Montpelier; 1201 N. Scott St., Napoleon; 104 W. Airport Highway; and 885 N. Washington St., according to NRC’s website. The bid deadline for the sites is May 7.
The stores are being sold without convenience-store branding, and with or without fuel supply, NRC said.
Lassus Bros. has 16 convenience stores in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and 14 others throughout the northeast corner of the state, according to its website. Once the five stores in Ohio are sold, it will have completely exited the state.
