Tue, June 9, 2009 City Capital Corp.: City Capital Further Diversifies With City Capital Petroleum, LLC; Acquires Petroleum Distribution Center
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 9, 2009) - City Capital Corporation (
City Capital Petroleum was acquired from a leading group with established and proven growth in the retail petroleum industry. Ephren Taylor, City Capital CEO, explains, "The lower cost of acquiring existing facilities gives us distribution, existing retail and commercial clientele, and secures new market share." In addition, the existing success of management and operations allows City Capital to complete a simple transition of ownership.
In spite of economic ambiguity, the petroleum retail industry has shown its steadfast ability to maintain operations. The U.S. Highway Administration reported that vehicle driver miles for February 2009 were down only 0.9% compared with last year, "which is a significant improvement from the driving destruction seen during 2008," according to Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix (source: Sam Fletcher, Oil and Gas Journal). Jakob adds, "Industrial demand is not back yet and unemployment is still very high, but the US driver seems to be reacting to the lower prices at the pump."
With the petroleum industry's resiliency, City Capital Petroleum will provide City Capital with cash flow and revenues. The long-term growth opportunity is even more promising; City Capital anticipates utilizing City Capital Petroleum as a regional hub in partnership with the company's Goshen Energy division. Mr. Taylor describes the potential of embarking on the joining of two independently successful City Capital divisions; "With our Goshen Energy division producing bio-fuels, we anticipate using our physical stations to distribute the fuel. This will create a vertically integrated company from production to retail." The ability for City Capital Petroleum to readily acquire and distribute both bio-fuel and petroleum will give the company a unique advantage within the industry.
The primary goal of President Barack Obama's energy plan is to eliminate the United States' dependence on foreign oil in the next ten years. With City Capital Petroleum and Goshen Energy, City Capital plans to do their part. Goshen Energy's bio-fuels are produced at home, not abroad, and will contribute as a commercial fueling business supplying renewable bio-fuels to U.S. distribution centers such as City Capital Petroleum.
With this acquisition, City Capital plans to upgrade the location with the installation of improved lighting and visibility to create a safer environment, fulfilling the company's socially conscious mandate. City Capital Petroleum plans to expand with three more possible locations in the next 12 months.
