STAMFORD, Conn., Jan.  10, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Group, L.P. (the "Company" or "Star") (NYSE:SGU), a home energy distributor and services provider, today announced it has completed the acquisition related to a definitive purchase agreement previously announced in December, 2024. The transaction involved a home energy distributor located within the Company’s existing operating footprint; it was purchased for approximately $68 million before working capital adjustments. Additional terms were not disclosed.  “I am pleased to announce the completion of this important acquisition, bringing another well-established home energy distributor under the Star umbrella,” said Jeff Woosnam, Star Group’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “As previously mentioned, the operations are expected to further strengthen our competitive position across the Company’s footprint, and we welcome its customers and employees to the Star Group family.”  About Star Group, L.P.Star Group, L.P. is a full service provider specializing in the sale of home heating products and services to residential and commercial customers to heat their homes and buildings. The Company also sells and services heating and air conditioning equipment to its home heating oil and propane customers and, to a lesser extent, provides these offerings to customers outside of its home heating oil and propane customer base. Star also sells diesel, gasoline and home heating oil on a delivery only basis. We believe Star is the nation's largest retail distributor of home heating oil based upon sales volume. Including its propane locations, Star serves customers in the more northern and eastern states within the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S. regions.
