What's Happening?
CrossAmerica Partners LP has sold 60 of its convenience stores in the South Central and Mountain West regions of the United States, including properties in Colorado and Kansas. The sale, amounting to $64 million, resulted in a net gain of $29.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. The company stated that these locations were not part of its long-term strategic plans for real estate ownership. The divestiture is part of CrossAmerica's ongoing real estate rationalization and class of trade optimization efforts.
