What is a fuel supply agreement?

A fuel supply agreement is a contract between a gas station operator (dealer) and a fuel supplier (jobber or oil major) setting forth volume commitments, term length, pricing structure, image program requirements, exclusivity, and termination rights.

Does a fuel supply contract transfer with a sale?

It depends on the contract. Some are personal to the operator and terminate at sale; others survive transfer with consent. We review each agreement and quantify its impact on transaction value before going to market.

Should I convert from branded to unbranded?

Unbranded conversion can materially increase per-gallon margin but eliminates brand-driven traffic, image program support, and institutional financeability. We build a side-by-side pro forma to inform the decision.

Can you negotiate supply contracts on my behalf?

Yes. We work alongside fuel supply counsel to negotiate or restructure dealer agreements, image loans, and supply terms anywhere in Florida.
