Northeast jobber sweeps bidding for Uni-Marts' assets in Midwest

摘要

Northeast jobber Joe Topper has come out on top again, at least on the bidding to buy c-stores in Ohio owned by Uni-Marts, the five-state chain that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2008.rnIn all, 207 Uni-Marts sites were put up for sale at an auction in Wilmington, Del., this week. More than 200 bidders took part in the auction, which lasted nearly 15 hours, according to broker Matrix Capital Markets Group, which managed the auction. Kwik Pik, LLC, an affiliate of Topper's Lehigh Gas Corp., won the auction for the Ohio assets with a bid of $ 10 million.
