RED DEER, AB--(Marketwired - October 02, 2015) - Parkland Fuel Corporation ("Parkland") (TSX: PKI), one of North America's fastest growing distributors and marketers of fuels and lubricants, today announced it will acquire two retail sites in North Dakota (the "North Dakota Acquisitions"). The North Dakota Acquisitions are complementary to Parkland's existing operations and extend Parkland's retail footprint into the New Town and Wahpeton areas. The North Dakota Acquisitions are expected to add approximately 26 million litres (seven million US gallons) of volume on an annual basis, based on historical sales data, and they represent an acquisition multiple of approximately four times trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA.

"Despite the economic slowdown in North Dakota, we remain committed to our growth strategy in the northern United States. These acquisitions are expected to add a large amount of fuel volume at an attractive price, and demonstrate our commitment to growing our business in the United States in areas contiguous to and overlapping with our existing operations. We look forward to welcoming these new team members to Parkland," said Bob Espey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parkland.
