Stinker Stores has sold 12 of its convenience stores in Colorado to four different buyers, Greg Penman, vice president of retail brokerage for Corner Realty, told CSP Thursday.
This was part of Stinker’s portfolio optimization efforts and will help sharpen its focus on core assets and capitalize its upcoming development projects, said Austin, Texas-based Corner Realty, which represented Stinker Stores in the sale.
“Stinker Stores is determined to be the leader in our trade areas utilizing our latest store format, serving this and the next generation of food and convenience customers in the Rocky Mountains,” said Nancy Jones, chairman of Stinker Stores.
- Stinker Stores is No. 67 on CSP’s 2025 Top 202 ranking of c-store chains by U.S. store count.
El Dorado, Arkansas-based Murphy USA was one of the four buyers, Penman confirmed. The c-store chain said in its third-quarter 2025 earnings report that it had acquired four stores in the Denver area. Penman did not share the name of the other three buyers but said they were local.
Corner Realty launched the sites for sale in April and closed on most of them in August and September.
Stinker Stores acquired these 12 sites from Bradley Oil in 2017. Since taking over operations, it has made significant improvements to the sites, Corner Realty said. The dozen locations had Sinclair-branded fuel.
As of January 2025, Boise, Idaho-based Stinker Stores had 105 stores in Idaho, Colorado and Wyoming.
