Locations previously owned by State Oil

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. -- Pester Marketing Co. (d.b.a. Alta Convenience) has announced its recent acquisition of four Conoco-branded convenience stores located in northern New Mexico, previously owned by State Oil Co. Inc., in New Mexico.

With three stores in Raton, N.M., and one store in Springer, N.M., this latest deal brings the total number of convenience stores owned by Pester Marketing to 57 and extends the company's retail presence across Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and New Mexico.

"Pester Marketing's wholesale fuel subsidiary, Alta Fuels has been supplying gas and diesel to these stores for the past three years and this current c-store acquisition fits very well with our plans for expansion in northern New Mexico," said Rich Spresser, president and CEO.
