Legacy Markets, a private‑equity‑backed holding company, announced the acquisition of 10 PowerTrac convenience and liquor outlets in the Southeast. Backed by Fruition Partners, the deal expands Legacy’s footprint in a region where fuel‑and‑food retail remains fragmented. The stores, located across Georgia and Alabama, add 2 million square feet to the portfolio. The purchase also gives Legacy access to fuel contracts and a customer base.

Legacy Markets pursues a roll‑up strategy, targeting independent sites that can benefit from centralized procurement and technology upgrades. By integrating the PowerTrac sites, the firm expects to leverage economies of scale in fuel purchasing and introduce its proprietary point‑of‑sale platform, which has already boosted same‑store sales at other locations by double‑digit percentages.

The transaction, valued undisclosed, signals continued private‑equity interest in the convenience‑store sector as consumer demand for on‑the‑go purchases holds steady. With the added locations, Legacy now operates over 150 sites, positioning it among the largest regional operators. The firm will focus on integrating inventory systems before the holiday travel surge begins.

Analysts note the move could lift Legacy’s EBITDA margins as integrated operations cut overhead. Shareholders will watch whether the scale drive translates into higher dividends.
