Arko Corp. subsidiary Arko Petroleum Corp. (APC) has agreed to acquire vertically integrated fuel supply and distribution platform U.S. Petroleum Partners, Arko said in its Friday earnings report.
Arko Petroleum Corp. went public earlier this year.
Arko Corp. CEO Arie Kotler said on an earnings call Friday that APC is an approximately 74% owned subsidiary of Arko Corp.
Arko Corp. on Friday reported earnings for the quarter ended June 30. Net income was $9.4 million, compared to $20.1 million in the same period last year, the report said.
“We delivered a strong first half of 2026, generating $123 million of Adjusted EBITDA, compared to $108 million last year, up 14.0%, despite weather disruption early in the year and a more challenging consumer environment as the second quarter progressed," Kotler said in a news release. "Consumer demand softened during the second quarter as sustained higher fuel prices continued to pressure household budgets. Even so, our teams remained focused on the areas within our control, maintaining disciplined fuel and merchandise margins while continuing to deliver value for our customers.”
Arko Petroleum Corp.’s deal to acquire U.S. Petroleum Partners is expected to increase APC’s annual fuel volumes by approximately 280 million gallons by adding more than 400 dealer locations and enhancing the company’s operational and commercial scale, the release said.
“The acquisition is expected to strengthen supplier relationships, enhance vertical integration and expand fee-based earnings streams through the addition of two fuel terminals and expanded transportation capabilities,” the release said. “These assets are expected to create additional opportunities for future earnings growth through increased throughput, operational synergies and future acquisition opportunities.”
On Friday’s earnings call, Kotler said APC’s deal for U.S. Petroleum Partners accelerates APC’s growth plan and extends scale in attractive markets. U.S. Petroleum Partners serves customers throughout the Great Lakes region.
He added the deal is exactly the type of opportunity APC was built to pursue.
“This planned acquisition is not simply another acquisition,” Kotler said.
