Lavigne Baker Petroleum, LLC

The Trigger:

• A joint venture created by the principals of Lavigne Oil Company and Slidell Oil Company, this Company acquired the Shell branded retail network in New Orleans, LA, as part of Motiva, LLC’s market divestitures.

The Project:

• Corner Capital performed market rides of all locations to assess qualitative details about the assets, including any deferred maintenance, capital requirements, and operating needs for the acquisition.

The Result:

• Corner Capital provided detailed valuation reports by location, including models analyzing COCO/CODO/DODO economics.
• The Company was the successful acquirer of the New Orleans market.
