4. Leases

As of June 30, 2025, the Company leased 1,023 of its retail convenience stores, 418 dealer locations, 154 cardlock locations, former store locations, and certain office and storage spaces, including land and buildings in certain cases. Most of the lease agreements are for long-term periods, ranging from 15 to 20 years, and generally include several renewal options for extension periods for five to 25 years. Additionally, the Company leases certain store equipment, office equipment, automatic tank gauges and fuel dispensers.

In connection with the closing of the Company’s 2021 acquisition of 60 ExpressStop convenience stores, a real estate investment fund acquired fee simple ownership of 25 of the acquired sites, and the Company entered into a lease agreement for these locations under customary terms. The real estate fund granted the Company an option to purchase the fee simple ownership in these sites following an initial four-year period for a purchase price agreed upon between the parties. For accounting purposes, this transaction was originally treated as a failed sale-leaseback and resulted in recording a financial liability of approximately $44.2 million at that time. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company chose not to exercise its purchase option. The expiration of this purchase option was accounted for as a sale-leaseback, resulting in the removal of such financial liability and related fixed assets, and the recording of a gain of approximately $20.8 million included in other (income) expenses, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $34.5 million in connection with the remaining lease term for these sites.

In connection with the 2024 acquisition of the 21 SpeedyQ Markets convenience stores, the Company leased one site from the seller, for which the seller received a put right to require that the Company purchase such site, and the Company received a call right to require that the seller sell such site, both for a purchase price of $7.0 million, subject to terms set forth in the purchase agreement governing the SpeedyQ Markets acquisition. In June 2025, the seller exercised its put right, and the Company is expected to complete the acquisition of the site in the third quarter of 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, future minimum payments for operating lease obligations and financing lease obligations were as set forth in the following table. The minimum lease payments presented below include periods during which an option is reasonably certain to be exercised and do not take into consideration any future consumer price index adjustments for these agreements.
