  • Albuquerque, NM (1888PressRelease) September 16, 2011 - In a deal valued at more than $15 million, San Diego-based Trigild Inc. - in tandem with Dallas-based brokerage firm Annandale Real Estate -- has closed the sale of a portfolio of 30 Albuquerque area gas station/convenience stores once owned by PRP Inc. and operated by Ever-Ready Oil Inc. Trigild, which specializes in loan recovery and management of commercial real estate assets and operating businesses, facilitated the sale with Annandale, who also worked with New Mexico-based Hopkins Real Estate.

    According to Gary Aharonian, Trigild's vice president of petroleum properties, the stores were sold to two separate regional operators -- with one buyer acquiring two of the portfolio locations and the other purchasing the remaining 28 sites. Located throughout Albuquerque, NM and the surrounding communities, the former Chevron and Conoco-branded properties range in size from 900- to 2,400-square-feet and are situated on half-acre to three-acre parcels.

    When Ever-Ready Oil was placed in receivership in May 2010, Trigild took over operations for the properties as manager/receiver, and was charged with protecting the assets, as well as preparing them for a quick sale. The firm's immediate tasks included liquidating $1 million in wholesale inventory, excess equipment and company vehicles, as well as collecting over $1 million in accounts receivable.

    "Upon taking charge as management company and receiver, we reviewed the financials -- hiring employees, and reopening/operating the eight stores deemed profitable," Aharonian explained. "The remaining units were then secured and appropriate inventories transferred to the operational units. Many store-level and corporate office employees have since been rehired, and the stores have all resumed business and fully operating."

    Albuquerque-based Ever-Ready formerly owned and operated 28 Chevron and three Conoco stations. It also had a network of national and proprietary commercial fueling sites and a wholesale division that sold and distributed lubricants and approximately 40 million gallons of wholesale fuels yearly throughout New Mexico.
