GENERAL SUMMARY

Nouria is a rapidly growing retail convenience/gas store operator, quick service food provider, and fuel wholesaler.

We also serve as a wholesale fuel provider to a growing network of over 150 franchisees and dealers.

As a convenience store and car wash operator, Nouria has an ever-expanding portfolio of real estate, owned and leased. We also have numerous "co-brand" tenants in our stores, such as Dunkin, Subway, Honey Dew, Mary Lou's, and McDonald's.
