Six Former North Texas Quik-Way Gas Station/Convenience Stores Sold

SAN DIEGO, CA, November 15, 2012 (Press-News.org) San Diego-based Trigild Inc., working with Dallas-based Annandale Real Estate, has closed on the sale of six North Texas gas station/convenience stores in a transaction valued at more than $3.5 million.

Trigild, which specializes in management and receivership of commercial real estate assets and operating businesses, was appointed receiver of the former Quik-Way C-Stores in late 2011. The company facilitated the sale with Annandale, which auctioned the properties on June 28, 2012.

Gary Aharonian, Trigild's vice president of petroleum properties, said the stores were sold to two groups; one of the groups purchased two of the properties and the other purchased four. Four of the stores, in Sherman, Denison and Howe were Chevron branded; the others in Denison and Bonham, were Shell-branded - all have full convenience store operations. The properties range in size from 1,800- to 4,500-square-feet and are situated on 1/2-acre to 3/4-acre parcels. The buyers of the properties were local operators and will continue to run the properties.

When the portfolio was placed in receivership, Trigild took over as both manager and receiver to protect the assets and prepare them for a quick sale. As part of the process, Trigild staff liquidated inventory and equipment at the lease-hold locations valued in excess of $250,000.

"When petroleum properties like these enter receivership, it is critical to assure the assets are handled properly so that prospective buyers can move forward quickly and efficiently once the purchase is closed," Aharonian said, noting that the process was completed in six months.
