“This acquisition provides the opportunity to invest in one of our core businesses and is a strategic location for many of our customers,” Carroll said. “With the St. Joseph addition, we can better serve our petroleum business and this important part of our geography.” In addition to the current diesel fuel availability at the terminal, GROWMARK intends to offer ethanol blends of gasoline in the future.

Carroll said the St. Joseph terminal will expand GROWMARK’s supply capacity and facilitate continued growth. “We currently have a reliable supply of refined fuels. However, with the addition of the St. Joseph terminal we will be able to more easily grow with our customers in the region,” he said. Magellan will continue to deliver refined fuels into the St. Joseph terminal via its Midwest pipeline system.
