Energy North’s Haffner’s convenience-store chain has added two stores through two acquisitions that also expand other arms of the company.
The Lawrence, Massachusetts, company has expanded its presence in its home state through the recent acquisition of Huhtala Oil & Propane and Concord Oil.
Huhtala Oil & Propane, Templeton, Massachusetts, has provided oil and propane delivery and HVAC services to customers in Worcester County for more than 75 years. Huhtala's East Templeton office also include a Mobil gas station with diesel offering that will begin operating under the Haffner’s name later this year.
Separately, Haffner’s also acquired Concord Oil in Acton, Massachusetts, which includes a gas station and convenience store, several bulk storage facilities located in Acton and Concord, and a home heating delivery and HVAC business that serves communities in Middlesex County.
“Concord Oil and its employees are excited to be a part of the Haffner’s family,” said Mike Whaley, owner of Concord Oil. “Their culture of family, community and safety is what stood out to us and ensured they would not only take care of our people but carry on our reputation for reliable delivery and dependable service.”
Haffner’s operates 71 gas stations and convenience stores, many with car wash and foodservice locations. The Haffner’s brand distributes oil and propane while providing HVAC service to nearly 45,000 customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Southern Maine.
