NRC Realty & Capital Advisors, LLC announced today that it has been retained by San Antonio-based CST Brands, Inc. to coordinate the sale of 100 gasoline stations and/or convenience stores, 16 former gas stations and one land parcel. This includes 61 locations in Texas, 22 in Colorado, 14 in Arizona, seven in California, four in both Arkansas and Louisiana, three in New Mexico, one in Utah and one in Wyoming.
Of the 61 Texas sites, 30 are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, 11 are in the Lubbock area, seven are in the Houston area, five are in the El Paso area, and the remaining eight are in surrounding areas.

Sites sold as convenience stores with gas, whether operating or closed, will be offered for sale with fuel supply, which will be provided by CST, or without fuel supply. Of the 16 former gas stations, 4 will be sold without tanks and deed restricted for the sale of petroleum.
