PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed to engage in the distribution of motor fuels, consisting of gasoline and diesel fuel, and to own and lease real estate used in the retail distribution of motor fuels. Since our Predecessor was founded in 1992, we have generated revenues from the wholesale distribution of motor fuels to retail sites and from real estate leases. In the third quarter of 2013, we also began generating revenues, on a select basis, through the retail distribution of motor fuels at certain sites that we own or lease. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we were one of the ten largest independent distributors by volume in the United States for ExxonMobil, BP and Motiva. Over 90% of the motor fuels we distributed in the year ended December 31, 2013 were branded, including the Chevron, Sunoco, Valero, Gulf and Citgo brands.

Our primary business objective is to make quarterly cash distributions to our unitholders and, over time, to increase our quarterly cash distributions. We intend to make minimum quarterly distributions of at least $0.4375 per unit, per quarter (or $1.75 per unit on an annualized basis). Since the closing of our IPO, we have increased our distributions from $0.4375 per unit, per quarter (or $1.75 per unit on an annualized basis) to $0.5125 per unit, per quarter (or $2.05 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the distribution with respect to the fourth quarter of 2013, a 17.1% increase. The amount of any distributions is subject to the discretion of the board of directors of our general partner which may modify or revoke our cash distribution policy at any time. Our partnership agreement does not require us to pay any distributions at all. See Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities—Cash Distribution Policy.

We believe consistent demand for motor fuels in the areas where we operate and the contractual nature of our rent income provides a stable source of cash flow. Cash flows from the wholesale distribution of motor fuels are generated primarily by either a fixed or variable margin per gallon, depending on our contract terms. Our wholesale contracts prohibit customers from purchasing motor fuels from other distributors. By delivering motor fuels through independent carriers on the same day we purchase the motor fuels from suppliers, we seek to minimize the commodity price risks typically associated with the purchase and sale of motor fuels.

In the third quarter of 2013, we began generating revenues through the retail distribution of motor fuels. At these sites (“the Commission Sites”), we operate the retail fuel operations through a third-party commission agent and lease the non-fuel site operations to the commission agent. The commission agent pays rent to us for the use of the non-fuel related real and personal property at the site. The commission agent operates the non-fuel related operations at the site for its own account and receives from us a fixed rate per gallon of motor fuel distributed to the retail consumer.

We generate cash flows from rent income primarily by collecting rent from lessee dealers, commission agents and LGO pursuant to lease agreements. Our lease agreements with lessee dealers, commission agents and LGO had average remaining lease terms of approximately 2.5 years, 5.3 years and 14.1 years as of December 31, 2013, respectively. The terms of our lease agreements with lessee dealers generally run concurrently with the terms of the wholesale supply agreements at the sites, and the lease agreements generally require the lessee dealers to purchase their motor fuel from us. The terms of our lease agreements with commission agents generally range from five to ten years. We have entered into a 15-year wholesale supply agreement with LGO and many of the lease agreements with LGO run concurrently with that agreement. Over 65% of the sites to which we distribute motor fuels are owned or leased by us.

For 2013, we distributed an aggregate of approximately 638 million gallons of motor fuels. As of December 31, 2013, we distributed motor fuels to 812 sites, comprised of the following classes of business:

Table of Contents

In addition, we distribute motor fuels to 16 sub-wholesalers who distribute to additional sites.

We are focused on owning and leasing sites primarily located in prime locations with strong motor fuel demand. We own and lease sites located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Maine, Florida, Maryland, Delaware, and with our Rogers, Rocky Top and Manchester acquisitions further discussed below, Tennessee and Virginia. We also distribute motor fuel in Georgia. Based on 2012 data available from the Energy Information Agency, of the 14 states in which we distribute motor fuel, five are among the top ten consumers of gasoline and on-highway diesel fuel in the United States. Over 85% of our sites were located in high-traffic metropolitan and urban areas as of December 31, 2013. We believe the limited availability of undeveloped real estate particularly in the northeastern U.S. presents a high barrier to entry for new or existing retail gas station owners to develop competing sites.

We intend to grow our business primarily through acquisitions. We have grown our business from 11 owned sites in 2004 to 254 owned sites as of December 31, 2013. Since our IPO in October 2012, we have completed five significant acquisitions for a total of 123 fee and leasehold properties for total consideration of $142.9 million. See “Acquisitions.” As a result of these acquisitions, we have increased our rent income and enhanced our wholesale distribution business. Historically, our size and geographic concentration have enabled us to acquire multiple sites, particularly from major integrated oil companies that have divested assets associated with the motor fuel distribution business. Going forward we anticipate acquiring sites primarily from other wholesale distributors. We have been able to divest non-core sites that do not fit our strategic or geographic plans to other retail gas station operators or other entities, such as retail store operators, that may use the land for alternative purposes.

Business Strategies

Our primary business objective is to make quarterly cash distributions to our unitholders and, over time, to increase our quarterly cash distributions by continuing to execute the following strategies:

Table of Contents

Acquisitions

Since our IPO in October 2012, we have completed five significant acquisitions for a total of 123 fee and leasehold sites for total consideration of $142.9 million.

Dunmore Acquisition

In December 2012, we completed the Dunmore acquisition of sites in the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, region. In connection with this transaction, we acquired 24 motor fuel stations, 23 of which are fee simple interests and one of which is a leasehold interest, for total consideration of $29.0 million. Incremental rent income for the Dunmore acquisition included in our statements of operations was $2.0 million for 2013.

Express Lane Acquisition

In a series of related transactions in December 2012, we acquired 47 motor fuel service stations, seven as a fee simple interest and 40 as leasehold interests, and two fuel purchase agreements for total consideration of $45.2 million. The Express Lane assets are concentrated in the Tallahassee/Panama City metropolitan area and along the Interstate Highway 10 corridor of the “panhandle” region located in northwest Florida. This acquisition provided entry into a new geographic territory for us. Aggregate incremental revenues for the Express Lane acquisition included in our statements of operations were $126.0 million for 2013.

Rogers Acquisition

In September and October 2013, we purchased 14 motor fuel stations, three leasehold motor fuel stations, assumed certain third-party supply contracts and purchased certain other assets located primarily in the Tri-Cities region of Tennessee area for $21.1 million. This acquisition provided entry into a new geographic territory for us. Aggregate incremental revenues for the Rogers acquisition included in our statements of operations were $17.6 million for 2013.

Rocky Top Acquisition

In September 2013, we purchased one fee property site, three leasehold motor fuel stations, seven third-party supply contracts and certain other assets and equipment for total consideration of $10.7 million. Concurrent with the closing, we entered into a master lease for 29 motor fuel stations, which we will purchase on or after August 1, 2015, for $26.2 million. The purchased and leasehold sites are located in and around the Knoxville, Tennessee region and along Interstate Highways 40 and 75. This acquisition is geographically adjacent to the Rogers acquisition and expanded our presence in Tennessee. Aggregate incremental revenues for the Rocky Top acquisition included in our statements of operations were $23.1 million for 2013.

Manchester Acquisition

In December 2013, we purchased 44 independent dealer supply contracts, five sub-wholesale supply contracts, two leasehold motor fuel stations and certain other assets and equipment in Virginia for total consideration of $10.7 million. This acquisition provided entry into a new geographic territory for us. Aggregate incremental revenues for the Manchester acquisition included in our statements of operations were $3.6 million for 2013.

Wholesale Motor Fuel Distribution

General

The following table highlights the aggregate volume of motor fuel distributed by the wholesale distribution operations to each of the principal customer groups by gallons sold for the periods (in thousands):

We purchase branded and unbranded motor fuel from major integrated oil companies, refiners and unbranded fuel suppliers. We distribute motor fuel to lessee dealers, independent dealers, LGO and sub-wholesalers. We are a distributor of various brands of motor fuel as well as unbranded motor fuel. We are one of the top ten largest independent distributors by volume of ExxonMobil, BP and Shell-branded motor fuel in the United States, and we also distribute Chevron, Sunoco, Valero, Gulf and Citgo-branded motor fuels. We receive a fixed mark-up per gallon on approximately 39% of our gallons sold (based on fourth quarter volumes), which reduces the overall variability of our financial results. We receive a variable rate mark-up per gallon on the remaining gallons sold.

Arrangements with Lessee Dealers and Independent Dealers

We distribute motor fuel to lessee dealers and independent dealers under supply agreements. Under our supply agreements, we agree to supply a particular branded motor fuel or unbranded motor fuel to a site or group of sites and arrange for all transportation. We receive a per gallon margin that is either a fixed mark-up per gallon or a variable rate mark-up per gallon. The initial term of most independent dealer supply agreements is ten years. After a trial period, the initial term of most lessee dealer supply agreements is three years. These supply agreements require, among other things, dealers to maintain standards established by the applicable brand. We may provide credit terms to our lessee dealers and independent dealers, which are generally one to three days. As of December 31, 2013, the average remaining contract term for our independent dealers and lessee dealers was 5.0 years and 2.6 years, respectively.

Arrangements with Sub-Wholesalers

We distribute motor fuel to sub-wholesalers under supply agreements. Under our supply agreements, we agree to supply a particular branded motor fuel or unbranded motor fuel to the sub-wholesaler. Motor fuels are sold to the sub-wholesalers at rack plus. The rack price is the price at which a wholesale distributor generally purchases motor fuel from an integrated oil company or refiner at the terminal. The sub-wholesaler is responsible for arranging and paying for all transportation, insurance and all other costs and services for the distribution of motor fuels. The initial term of most sub-wholesaler supply agreements is three to ten years. We may provide credit terms to our sub-wholesalers, which are generally one to three days. As of December 31, 2013, the average remaining contract term for our contracts with sub-wholesalers was 5.1 years.

Table of Contents

Arrangement with LGO

Prior to the IPO, our Predecessor’s retail operations were transferred to LGO, a non-contributed entity managed by Joseph V. Topper, Jr. We entered into a 15-year wholesale supply agreement with LGO pursuant to which we distribute to LGO motor fuels at a variable rate mark-up per gallon consistent with market mark-ups. LGO retains the retail income it earns from the sites and is responsible for operating the sites and for paying expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the sites including, but not limited to, utilities, insurance, licenses and employee costs. We enter into 15-year lease agreements with LGO pursuant to which LGO leases sites from us. As of December 31, 2013, the remaining term on our wholesale supply agreement with LGO was 13.8 years.

Supplier Arrangements

We distribute branded motor fuel under the ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, Chevron, Sunoco, Valero, Gulf and Citgo brands to our customers. Branded motor fuels are purchased from major integrated oil companies and refiners under supply agreements. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our wholesale business purchased approximately 43%, 25%, 15%, 5% and 4% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil (a supplier of ours since 2002), BP (a supplier of ours since 2009), Motiva (a supplier of ours since 2004), Chevron (a supplier of ours since 2012), and Valero (a supplier of ours since 2003), respectively. We purchase the motor fuel at the supplier’s applicable terminal rack price, which typically changes daily. In addition, each supply agreement typically contains provisions relating to, among other things, payment terms, use of the supplier’s brand names, provisions relating to credit card processing, insurance coverage and compliance with legal and environmental requirements. As is typical in the industry, a supplier generally can terminate the supply contract if we do not comply with any material condition of the contract, including if we were to fail to make payments when due, or if we are involved in fraud, criminal misconduct, bankruptcy or insolvency. Each supply agreement has provisions that obligates the supplier, subject to certain limitations, to sell up to an agreed upon number of gallons. Any amount in excess is subject to availability. Certain suppliers offer volume rebates or incentive payments to drive volumes and provide an incentive for branding new locations. Certain suppliers require that all or a portion of any such incentive payments be repaid to the supplier in the event that the sites are rebranded within a stated number of years. We also purchase unbranded motor fuel for distribution at the rack price. As of December 31, 2013, our supply agreements had a weighted-average remaining term of approximately 11.5 years.

Selection and Recruitment of Site Operators

We constantly evaluate existing and potential site operators based on their creditworthiness and the quality of their site and operation as determined by size and location of the site, monthly volumes of motor fuel sold, overall financial performance and previous operating experience. We routinely convert our sites operated by LGO to lessee dealer or commission agent operated sites. In addition, we occasionally convert sites from being operated by lessee dealers or commission agents to LGO.

Retail Motor Fuel Distribution

Prior to September 1, 2013, we leased certain sites to LGO, which, in turn, subleased certain of these sites (the “Subleases”) to third party commission agents and entered into commission agreements with the agents to sell motor fuel on behalf of LGO to retail customers (the “Commission Agreements”). In connection with the Commission Agreements, LGO also purchased motor fuel from a subsidiary of the Partnership at wholesale prices. Effective September 1, 2013, we assumed the Commission Agreements and Subleases from LGO and terminated our leases with LGO for the Commission Sites. As a result, we now record the retail sale of motor fuels to the end customer and accrue a commission payable to the commission agent at the Commission Sites. We paid LGO $3.5 million (the “Purchase Price”) for the Subleases and Commission Agreements and $2.1 million for the motor fuel inventory. Because the transaction was between entities under common control, the assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at LGO’s book value. The Purchase Price is presented as a distribution from partners’ capital.

The commission agent at each site operates all the non-fuel operations at the site for its own account, pays rent to us for the use of the site and receives a commission for each gallon of motor fuel sold at the site. At the Commission Sites, we own the motor fuel inventory, determine the retail pricing of motor fuel and generate revenue from the sale of motor fuel to the retail consumer. We maintain inventory from the time of the purchase of motor fuels from third party suppliers until the retail sale to the end customer at these sites. The retail fuel margin at the Commission Sites is non-qualifying income for federal income tax purposes and is recorded in LGWS, our taxable C-Corp subsidiary. LGW sells fuel on a wholesale basis to LGWS for the Commission Sites and this income is qualifying income for federal income tax purposes and included in the results of the Wholesale segment in our consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate

Site Locations

As of December 31, 2013, we owned or leased 556 sites located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, New Hampshire, New York, Maine, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Of those, 254 are owned fee simple and 302 sites we leased from third-party landlords. Over 85% of our sites are located in high-traffic metropolitan and urban areas. Our emphasis on acquiring, by purchase or lease, sites primarily in prime locations with strong motor fuel demand allows us to benefit from high traffic counts and customers seeking convenient fueling locations. We believe that sites in high traffic areas are highly desirable to other gas station operators as well as attractive locations for other entities that may use the land for alternative purposes. As a result of the limited availability of undeveloped real estate in these areas, particularly in the northeastern U.S., we believe the locations of our sites present high barriers of entry for new retail gas station operators to compete with the operators of our sites.

The following table shows the geographic distribution by state of the aggregate number of sites we owned or lease at December 31, 2013:

In aggregate for fee and lease sites, the average remaining term as of December 31, 2013 for our leases with lessee dealers, commission agents and LGO was 2.6 years, 5.3 years and 14.1 years, respectively.

Sites Owned

We owned 254 sites as of December 31, 2013. We generally have focused on selectively acquiring sites within or contiguous to our existing market areas. In evaluating potential acquisition candidates, we consider a number of factors, including strategic fit, desirability of location, cost efficiency of serving the site with our wholesale business, price and our ability to improve the productivity and cash flow potential of a site. We consider acquiring ownership of sites that are not within or contiguous to our current markets if the opportunity meets certain criteria including, among others, the availability of other sites in the area, motor traffic, potential sales volumes and cash flow potential.

We derive our rent income from sites we own that provide convenient fueling locations primarily in areas that are densely populated. We collect rent from the lessee dealers and LGO pursuant to lease agreements we have with the lessee dealers and LGO. Substantially all of our owned sites are leased to lessee dealers or LGO. The average remaining lease term for our lessee dealers, commission agents and LGO at our owned sites as of December 31, 2013 was 2.2 years, 4.8 years and 14.2 years, respectively.

10

Table of Contents

Sites Leased

As of December 31, 2013, we also leased 302 sites from third parties and then sub-leased these sites to lessee dealers, commission agents and LGO. The average remaining lease term for sites we lease from third parties, excluding the sale-leasebacks further discussed below, is 9.3 years as of December 31, 2013. Our sub-leases with the lessee dealers typically have three-year terms. The average remaining sub-lease term for sites we sub-lease to lessee dealers, commission agents and LGO was 2.8 years, 6.8 years and 13.9 years as of December 31, 2013, respectively.

Personal Property Rent Income

The rent income we earn from sites we own or lease includes rent income associated with the personal property located on these sites, such as underground storage tanks and motor fuel pumps. The rent income we earn from leasing the personal property we own or lease may not be a qualified source of income. As a result, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc., a taxable C corporation, owns and leases (or leases and then sub-leases) certain of our personal property. Accordingly, rent income earned by Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc. on the personal property is taxed at the applicable corporate income tax rate.

Site Dispositions

We continually evaluate the performance of each of our sites to determine whether any particular site should be closed or sold based on profitability, trends and our competition in the surrounding area, as well as whether the site may be attractive to a buyer that may use it for an alternative purpose. The majority of the sites we have acquired were purchased from major integrated oil companies and other industry participants undertaking a process to divest large numbers of sites in single-sale transactions where potential buyers typically are not permitted to make offers on single or selected sites. Accordingly, we historically have purchased a number of sites that may not fit our strategic and geographic plans. We have, however, been successful at selling sites, which may not fit our strategic and geographic plans, at prices that we deem attractive under the circumstances. As part of the sale process for these sites, we attempt to enter into supply agreements with the purchasers of these sites so that we can distribute motor fuel to them after we sell them. Typically, we seek to use the proceeds from the sale of these sites to buy additional sites that better fit our strategic and geographic model.

Seasonality

Due to the nature of our business and our customer’s reliance, in part, on consumer travel and spending patterns, we experience more demand for motor fuel during the late spring and summer months than during the fall and winter. Travel and recreational activities are typically higher in these months in the geographic areas in which we operate, increasing the demand for motor fuel that we distribute. Therefore, our distribution volumes are typically higher in the second and third quarters of the year and our results from operations may vary from quarter to quarter. However, the impact of seasonality has lessened with the recent acquisitions in new markets.

Competition

Our wholesale distribution operation primarily competes with other motor fuel distributors. We do not compete with major integrated oil companies as they have exited the wholesale distribution business in the markets in which we operate. We may encounter more significant competition if major integrated oil companies alter their current business strategy and decide to re-enter the wholesale distribution business, thereby reducing and/or eliminating their need to rely on wholesale distributors. In addition, independent dealers or sub-wholesalers may choose to purchase their motor fuel supplies directly from the major integrated oil companies. Major competitive factors for our wholesale operations include, among others, customer service, price and quality of service.

Environmental

Environmental Laws and Regulations

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to underground storage tanks, the release or discharge of hazardous materials into the air, water and soil, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, the exposure of persons to hazardous materials, and the health and safety of our employees.

Environmental laws and regulations can restrict or impact our business activities in many ways, such as:

11

Table of Contents

Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements and the issuance of orders enjoining future operations. Certain environmental statutes impose strict, joint and several liability for costs required to clean up and restore sites where hydrocarbons, hazardous substances or wastes have been released or disposed of. Moreover, neighboring landowners and other third parties may file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hydrocarbons, hazardous substances or other wastes into the environment.

The trend in environmental regulation is to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment. As a result, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of future expenditures for environmental compliance or remediation, and actual future expenditures may be different from the amounts we currently anticipate. We try to anticipate future regulatory requirements that might be imposed and plan accordingly to remain in compliance with changing environmental laws and regulations and minimize the costs of such compliance.

We do not believe that compliance with federal, state or local environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash available for distribution to our unitholders. We can provide no assurance, however, that future events, such as changes in existing laws (including changes in the interpretation of existing laws), the promulgation of new laws, or the development or discovery of new facts or conditions will not cause us to incur significant costs.

Hazardous Substances and Releases

In most instances, the environmental laws and regulations affecting our business relate to the release of hazardous wastes into the water or soils, and include measures to control pollution of the environment. For instance, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, also known as CERCLA or the Superfund law, and comparable state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the site where the release occurred and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under the Superfund law, these persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. The Superfund law also authorizes the EPA, and in some instances third parties, to act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the responsible persons the costs they incur. It is possible for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances or other pollutants released into the environment. In the course of our ordinary operations, we may generate waste that falls within the Superfund law’s definition of a hazardous substance, and as a result, we may be jointly and severally liable under the Superfund law for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which those hazardous substances have been released into the environment.

We currently own or lease sites where motor fuels are or have been handled for many years. Although we and our consultants have utilized operating and disposal practices in accordance with industry standards, wastes produced from remediation efforts require disposal at sites owned/operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal practices are not under our control. These sites and wastes disposed thereon may be subject to the Superfund law or other federal and state laws. Under these laws, we could be required to remove or remediate previously disposed wastes, including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators, to clean up contaminated property.

LGC is in the process of investigating and remediating contamination at a number of our sites as a result of recent or historic releases of petroleum products. At many sites, LGC is entitled to reimbursement from third parties for certain of these costs under third-party contractual indemnities, state trust funds and insurances policies, in each case, subject to specified deductibles, per incident, annual and aggregate caps and specific eligibility requirements. Although LGC will be required to indemnify us for these costs to the extent third parties (including insurers) fail to pay for remediation as LGC anticipates, insurance and indemnification are unavailable, and/or the state trust funds cease to exist or become insolvent, we may be obligated to pay these additional costs.

Water Discharges

The federal Clean Water Act imposes restrictions regarding the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters. This law and comparable state laws require permits for discharging pollutants into state and federal waters and impose substantial liabilities for noncompliance. EPA regulations also require us to obtain permits to discharge certain storm water runoff. Storm water discharge permits also may be required by certain states in which we operate. We believe that we hold the required permits and operate in material compliance with those permits. While we have experienced permit discharge exceedences, we do not expect any non-compliance with existing permits and foreseeable new permit requirements to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Air Emissions

Under the federal Clean Air Act and comparable state and local laws, permits are typically required to emit regulated air pollutants into the atmosphere. We believe that we currently hold or have applied for all necessary air permits and that we are in substantial compliance with applicable air laws and regulations. Although we can give no assurances, we are aware of no changes to air quality regulations that will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

Various federal, state and local agencies have the authority to prescribe product quality specifications for the motor fuels that we sell, largely in an effort to reduce air pollution. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in substantial penalties. Although we can give no assurances, we believe we are currently in substantial compliance with these regulations.

Efforts at the federal and state level are currently underway to reduce the levels of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions from various sources in the United States. Even in the absence of new federal legislation, GHG emissions have begun to be regulated by the EPA pursuant to the Clean Air Act. For example, in April 2010, the EPA set a new emissions standard for motor vehicles to reduce GHG emissions. New federal or state restrictions on emissions of GHGs that may be imposed in areas of the United States in which we conduct business and that apply to our operations could adversely affect the demand for our products.

Environmental Insurance and Escrow Accounts

We are protected as an additional named insured by insurance which may cover in whole or in part certain expenditures to investigate, monitor and otherwise respond to releases of hazardous materials including petroleum products. We maintain insurance policies with insurers in amounts and with coverage and deductibles as our General Partner believes are reasonable and prudent. Before acquiring the property underlying a site, we use an environmental consultant to perform due diligence regarding the site to assess the exposure to risk of contamination, if any, at each site. Generally, when acquired sites require remediation, either the seller funds an escrow account for the cost to remediate the property, or the seller retains the obligation to remediate the property. In the circumstances where monies are placed in escrow to cover the estimated cost of remediation for known contamination, the accounts are used to pay for the appropriate remediation tasks, which are contracted out to remediation firms. In certain circumstances, insurance policies have also been procured to protect against remediation cost overruns.

With each acquisition, pollution insurance was procured to cover risks associated with unknown historic contamination that might not be identified during due diligence. In addition, we also participate in state insurance programs or obtain insurance policies in states that do not have programs to cover new contamination that arises post-acquisition. As of December 31, 2013, LGC had an aggregate of $6.7 million in escrow funds available to cover known contaminations at our existing sites. In addition to the escrow accounts, LGC maintains pollution insurance policies with total aggregate limits in excess of $100 million.

In addition to the foregoing, on October 29, 2012, a “master” pollution policy was procured covering new conditions at all properties, including remediation and third-party liabilities. This policy treats any pollution condition that arose subsequent to the acquisition of the property by the predecessor entities as “new.” This policy also affords excess coverage to our underground storage tank policies and state programs and was written on a 5-year term with $10.0 million in aggregate limits. Furthermore, in keeping with our practice of maintaining insurance for all of our acquisitions, upon completion of each acquisition, new “transactional” pollution policies are procured with limits of at least $5.0 million (for significant acquisitions). These policies typically are written as “retroactive” coverage, meaning they provide coverage (for remediation costs and third party claims) arising from unknown, historic pollution conditions. For any smaller or single-site acquisitions, coverage for such sites is typically endorsed on the “master” policy identified above. Thus, in addition to the insurance protection afforded under the LGC pollution policies identified above, as of December 31, 2013, the Partnership maintains pollution insurance policies with total aggregate limits in excess of $25 million and continues to grow its pollution insurance portfolio with each acquisition.

13

Table of Contents

It should be noted that while the Partnership generally views its pollution insurance portfolio as an excellent balance against the inherent risk associated with acquiring and maintaining a portfolio of gas stations, these policies and escrow amounts may not cover all environmental risks and costs, and may not provide sufficient coverage in the event an environmental claim is made against us.

Security Regulation

Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, the U.S. government has issued warnings that energy infrastructure assets may be future targets of terrorist organizations. These developments have subjected our operations to increased risks. Increased security measures taken by us as a precaution against possible terrorist attacks have resulted in increased costs to our business. Any global and domestic economic repercussions from terrorist activities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders. For instance, terrorist activity could lead to increased volatility in prices for motor fuels and other products we sell.

Insurance carriers are currently required to offer coverage for terrorist activities as a result of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA). We purchased this coverage under our property and casualty insurance programs, which resulted in additional insurance premiums. Pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, TRIA has been extended through December 31, 2014. Although we cannot determine the future availability and cost of insurance coverage for terrorist acts, we do not expect the availability and cost of such insurance to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

Employee Safety

Neither we, our subsidiaries, nor our General Partner have any employees. All of our executive management personnel are employees of LGC. LGC will provide us with the management and labor sufficient to carry on our business. LGC is subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or “OSHA,” and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, OSHA’s hazard communication standards require that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. We believe that LGC is in substantial compliance with the applicable OSHA requirements.

Title to Properties, Permits and Licenses

We believe we have all of the assets needed, including leases, permits and licenses, to operate our business in all material respects. With respect to any consents, permits or authorizations that have not been obtained, we believe that the failure to obtain these consents, permits or authorizations will have no material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

We believe we have satisfactory title to all of our assets. Title to property may be subject to encumbrances, including repurchase rights and use, operating and environmental covenants and restrictions, including restrictions on branded motor fuels that may be sold at such sites. We believe that none of these encumbrances will materially detract from the value of our sites or from our interest in these sites, nor will they materially interfere with the use of these sites in the operation of our business. These encumbrances may, however, impact our ability to sell the site to an entity seeking to use the land for alternative purposes.

Facilities

Our principal executive offices are in Allentown, Pennsylvania in an office space leased by LGC. The management fee charged by LGC to the Partnership incorporates a rental charge. The lease expires on June 30, 2029.

Employees

Our General Partner will manage our operations and activities on our behalf. However, neither we, nor our subsidiaries, nor our General Partner have employees. All of our executive management personnel are employees of LGC. We and our General Partner have entered into an omnibus agreement with LGC pursuant to which LGC provides to us and our General Partner management services and manages our business and affairs.

As of December 31, 2013, LGC had 155 employees, none of which are represented by a collective bargaining agreement.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, we might not be able to pay distributions on our common units, the trading price of our common units could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Also, please read “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement.

Limited partner interests are inherently different from the capital stock of a corporation although many of the business risks to which we are subject are similar to those that would be faced by a corporation engaged in a similar business.

Risks Inherent in Our Business

We may not have sufficient cash from operations to enable us to pay the minimum quarterly distribution following establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses.

We may not have sufficient cash each quarter to pay the minimum quarterly distribution of at least $0.4375 per unit, or $1.75 per unit per year. The minimum quarterly distribution is an amount that must be paid to holders of our common units, including any arrearages, before any distributions may be made to holders of our subordinated units, to the extent that any distributions are made.

The amount of cash we can distribute on our units principally depends upon the amount of cash we generate from our operations, which will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on, among other things:

In addition, the actual amount of cash we will have available for distribution will depend on other factors such as:

15

Table of Contents

We do not have a legal obligation to pay quarterly distributions at our minimum quarterly distribution rate or at any other rate. There is no guarantee that we will distribute quarterly cash distributions to our unitholders in any quarter. See Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities—Cash Distribution Policy.

The amount of cash we have available for distribution to unitholders depends primarily on our cash flow rather than on our profitability, which may prevent us from making cash distributions, even during periods when we record net income.

The amount of cash we have available for distribution depends primarily on our cash flow, and not solely on profitability, which will be affected by non-cash items. As a result, we may make cash distributions during periods when we record losses for financial accounting purposes and may not make cash distributions during periods when we record net income for financial accounting purposes.

The industries in which we operate are subject to seasonal trends, which may affect our earnings and ability to make distributions.

We experience more demand for motor fuel during the late spring and summer months than during the fall and winter. Travel, recreational activities and construction are typically higher in these months in certain of the geographic areas in which we operate, increasing the demand for motor fuel that we distribute. Therefore, our revenues are typically higher in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year. As a result, our results from operations may vary widely from period to period, affecting our earnings and ability to make cash distributions.

Decreases in consumer spending, travel and tourism in the areas we serve could adversely impact our wholesale distribution business.

In the retail motor fuel industry, customer traffic is generally driven by consumer preferences and spending trends, growth rates for automobile and commercial truck traffic and trends in travel, tourism and weather. Changes in economic conditions generally or in our targeted markets specifically could adversely impact consumer spending patterns and travel and tourism in our markets, which could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and our ability to make distributions.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders are influenced by changes in demand for, and changes in the prices of, motor fuels, which could adversely affect our margins and our customers’ financial condition, contract performance and trade credit.

Financial and operating results from our wholesale distribution and retail operations are influenced by price volatility and demand for motor fuels. When prices for motor fuels rise, some of our wholesale customers may have insufficient credit to purchase supply from us at their historical purchase volumes, and their retail customers or our retail customers, in turn, may reduce consumption, thereby reducing demand for product.

Furthermore, when prices are increasing, we may be unable to fully pass our additional costs to our wholesale or retail customers, resulting in lower margins for us which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Both the wholesale motor fuel distribution and the retail motor fuel industries are characterized by intense competition and fragmentation and our failure to effectively compete could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and ability to make distributions.

The market for distribution of wholesale motor fuel and the sale of retail motor fuel are highly competitive and fragmented, which results in narrow margins. We have numerous competitors, some of which may have significantly greater resources and name recognition than we do. We rely on our ability to provide value added reliable services and to control our operating costs to maintain our margins and competitive position. If we were to fail to maintain the quality of our services, wholesale customers could choose alternative distribution sources and retail customers could purchase from other retailers, each decreasing our margins. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that major integrated oil companies will not decide to distribute their own products in direct competition with us or that large wholesale customers will not attempt to buy directly from the major integrated oil companies. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and our ability to make distributions.

Table of Contents

We are exposed to risks of loss in the event of nonperformance by our customers and suppliers.

A tightening of credit in the financial markets or an increase in interest rates may make it more difficult for wholesale customers and suppliers to obtain financing and, depending on the degree to which it occurs, there may be a material increase in the nonpayment or other nonperformance by our customers and suppliers. Even if our credit review and analysis mechanisms work properly, we may experience financial losses in our dealings with these third parties. A material increase in the nonpayment or other nonperformance by our wholesale customers and/or suppliers could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders.

Historical prices for motor fuel have been volatile and significant changes in such prices in the future may adversely affect our business, results of operations and ability to make distributions.

Crude oil and domestic wholesale motor fuel markets are volatile. General political conditions, acts of war or terrorism and instability in oil producing regions, particularly in the Middle East, Russia, Africa and South America, could significantly impact crude oil supplies and wholesale motor fuel costs. Significant increases and volatility in wholesale motor fuel costs could result in significant increases in the retail price of motor fuel products and in lower margin per gallon. Increases in the retail price of motor fuel products could impact consumer demand for motor fuel. This volatility makes it extremely difficult to predict the impact future wholesale cost fluctuations will have on our operating results and financial condition. Dramatic increases in crude oil prices squeeze fuel margins because fuel costs typically increase faster than we are able to pass along the increases to customers. Higher fuel prices trigger higher credit card expenses, because credit card fees are calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount, not as a percentage of gallons sold. A significant change in any of these factors could materially impact our customer’s motor fuel gallon volumes, gross profit and overall customer traffic, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and ability to make distributions.

Energy efficiency and new technology may reduce the demand for our motor fuel and adversely affect our operating results.

Increased conservation and technological advances, including the development of improved gas mileage vehicles and the increased usage of electrically powered cars have adversely affected the demand for motor fuel. Future conservation measures or technological advances in fuel efficiency might reduce demand and adversely affect our operating results.

We depend on five principal suppliers for the majority of our motor fuel. A disruption in supply or a change in our relationship with any one of them could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash available for distribution.

ExxonMobil, BP, Motiva, Chevron and Valero collectively supplied over 90% of our motor fuel purchases in 2013. Our wholesale business purchased approximately 43%, 25%, 15%, 5% and 4% of its respective motor fuel from ExxonMobil (a supplier of ours since 2002), BP (a supplier of ours since 2009), Motiva (a supplier of ours since 2004), Chevron (a supplier of ours since 2012) and Valero (a supplier of ours since 2003), respectively. A change of motor fuel suppliers, a disruption in supply or a significant change in our pricing with any of these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash available for distribution.

We rely on our suppliers to provide trade credit terms to adequately fund our on-going operations.

Our business is impacted by the availability of trade credit to fund motor fuel purchases. An actual or perceived downgrade in our liquidity or operations could cause our suppliers to seek credit support in the form of additional collateral, limit the extension of trade credit or otherwise materially modify their payment terms. Any material changes in the payments terms, including payment discounts, or availability of trade credit provided by our principal suppliers could impact our liquidity, results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

If we do not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, our future growth may be limited.

Our ability to grow substantially depends on our ability to make acquisitions that result in an increase in operating surplus per unit. We may be unable to make such accretive acquisitions for any of the following reasons:

17

Table of Contents

In addition, we may consummate acquisitions, which at the time of consummation we believe will be accretive, but which ultimately may not be accretive. If any of these events occurred, our future growth would be limited.

Our success and future growth depends in part on our ability to purchase or lease additional sites. Our acquisition strategy involves risks that may adversely affect our business.

Any acquisition involves potential risks, including:

Any of these factors could adversely affect our ability to achieve anticipated levels of cash flows from our acquisitions and realize other anticipated benefits.

Our debt levels may limit our flexibility in obtaining additional financing and in pursuing other business opportunities.

We have a significant amount of debt. As of December 31, 2013, we had $146.3 million outstanding on our existing $324 million revolving credit facility, with the ability to increase our borrowing capacity by an additional $100 million. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity – Long-term Debt” for a discussion of our amended and restated credit facility entered into in March 2014. Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences to us, including the following:

18

Table of Contents

Our ability to service our indebtedness will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions, such as reducing distributions, reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments and/or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness, or seeking additional equity capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to effect any of these actions on satisfactory terms, or at all.

Our new Credit Facility contains operating and financial restrictions that may limit our business and financing activities.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our credit agreement and any future financing agreements could adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage, expand or pursue our business activities. For example, our credit agreement may restrict our ability to:

Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our credit agreement may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. If we violate any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in our credit agreement, the debt issued under the credit agreement may become immediately due and payable, and our lenders’ commitment to make further loans to us may terminate. We might not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. In addition, our obligations under our credit agreement will be secured by substantially all of our assets, and if we are unable to repay our indebtedness under our credit agreement, the lenders could seek to foreclose on such assets.

We may not be able to lease sites we own or sub-lease sites we lease on favorable terms and any such failure could adversely affect our results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

We may lease and/or sub-lease certain sites to Lessee Dealers or to LGO where the rent expense is more than the lease payments. If we are unable to obtain tenants on favorable terms for sites we own or lease, the lease payments we receive may not be adequate to cover our rent expense for leased sites and may not be adequate to ensure that we meet our debt service requirements. We cannot provide any assurance that the margins on our wholesale distribution of motor fuels to these sites will be adequate to off-set unfavorable lease terms. The occurrence of these events could adversely affect our results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

The operations at sites we own or lease are subject to inherent risk, operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions and insurance may not adequately cover any such exposure. The occurrence of a significant event or release that is not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash available for distribution.

The presence of flammable and combustible products at our sites provides the potential for fires and explosions that could destroy both property and human life. Furthermore, our operations are subject to unforeseen interruptions such as natural disasters, adverse weather and other events beyond our control. Motor fuels also have the potential to cause environmental damage if improperly handled or released. If any of these events were to occur, we could incur substantial losses and/or curtailment of related operations because of personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and pollution or other environmental damage.

Table of Contents

We are not fully insured against all risks incident to our business. We may be unable to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain of our insurance policies have increased and could escalate further. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and ability to make distributions to unitholders.

We are relying on LGC to indemnify us for any costs or expenses that we incur for environmental liabilities and third-party claims, regardless of when a claim is made, that are based on environmental conditions in existence prior to the closing of the IPO at our predecessor’s sites. To the extent escrow accounts, insurance and/or payments from LGC are not sufficient to cover any such costs or expenses, our business, liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The omnibus agreement provides that LGC must indemnify us for any costs or expenses that we incur for environmental liabilities and third-party claims, regardless of when a claim is made, that are based on environmental conditions in existence prior to the closing of the IPO at our Predecessor Entity’s sites. LGC is the beneficiary of escrow accounts created to cover the cost to remediate certain environmental liabilities. In addition, LGC maintains insurance policies to cover environmental liabilities and/or, where available, participates in state programs that may also assist in funding the costs of environmental liabilities. There are certain sites that were acquired by us in the IPO with existing environmental liabilities that are not covered by escrow accounts, state funds or insurance policies. As of December 31, 2013, LGC had an aggregate of approximately $2.9 million of environmental liabilities on sites acquired by us that are not covered by escrow accounts, state funds or insurance policies. To the extent escrow accounts, insurance and/or payments from LGC are not sufficient to cover any such costs or expenses, our business, liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected

Our wholesale motor fuel sales are generated under contracts that must be renegotiated or replaced periodically. If we are unable to successfully renegotiate or replace these contracts, then our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our wholesale motor fuel sales are generated under contracts that must be periodically renegotiated or replaced. As these contracts expire, they must be renegotiated or replaced. We may be unable to renegotiate or replace these contracts when they expire, and the terms of any renegotiated contracts may not be as favorable as the contracts they replace. Whether these contracts are successfully renegotiated or replaced is often times subject to factors beyond our control. Such factors include fluctuations in motor fuel prices, counterparty ability to pay for or accept the contracted volumes and a competitive marketplace for the services offered by us. If we cannot successfully renegotiate or replace our contracts or must renegotiate or replace them on less favorable terms, sales from these arrangements could decline and our ability to make distributions to our unitholders could be adversely affected.

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern the product quality specifications of the motor fuel that we distribute and sell.

Various federal, state and local agencies have the authority to prescribe specific product quality specifications to the sale of commodities. Our business includes such commodities. Changes in product quality specifications, such as reduced sulfur content in refined petroleum products, or other more stringent requirements for fuels, could reduce our ability to procure product and our sales volume, require us to incur additional handling costs, and/or require the expenditure of capital. If we are unable to procure product or to recover these costs through increased sales, our ability to meet our financial obligations could be adversely affected. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial penalties.

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations pertaining to environmental protection or operational safety that may require significant expenditures or result in liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to underground storage tanks, the release or discharge of regulated materials into the air, water and soil, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, the exposure of persons to regulated materials, and the health and safety of our employees. We believe we are in material compliance with applicable environmental requirements; however, we cannot assure you that violations of these requirements will not occur in the future. We also cannot assure you that we will not be subject to legal actions brought by third parties for actual or alleged violations of or responsibility under environmental laws associated with releases of or exposure to motor fuel products. A violation of, liability under or compliance with these laws or regulations or any future environmental laws or regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Where releases of refined petroleum products, renewable fuels and crude oil have occurred, federal and state laws and regulations require that such releases be assessed and remediated to meet applicable standards. The costs associated with the investigation and remediation of any such releases, as well as any associated third-party claims, could be substantial, and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our unitholders.

Table of Contents

New, stricter environmental laws and regulations could significantly increase our costs, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regulating environmental matters. The trend in environmental regulation is towards more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment. Our business may be adversely affected by increased costs and liabilities resulting from such stricter laws and regulations. We try to anticipate future regulatory requirements that might be imposed and plan accordingly to remain in compliance with changing environmental laws and regulations and to minimize the costs of such compliance. However, there can be no assurances as to the timing and type of such changes in existing laws or the promulgation of new laws or the amount of any required expenditures associated therewith.

We depend on transportation providers for the transportation of substantially all of our motor fuel. Thus, a change of providers or a significant change in our relationship could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Substantially all of the motor fuel we distribute is transported from refineries to gas stations by third party carriers. A change of transportation providers, a disruption in service or a significant change in our relationship with these transportation carriers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash available for distribution.

We rely heavily on our information technology systems to manage our business, and a disruption of these systems or an act of cyber-terrorism could adversely affect our business.

We depend on our information technology systems to manage numerous aspects of our business transactions, in particular with respect to our cash management and disbursements, and provide analytical information to management. Our information systems are an essential component of our business, and a serious disruption to our information systems could significantly limit our ability to manage and operate our business efficiently. These systems are vulnerable to, among other things, damage and interruption from power loss or natural disasters, computer system and network failures, loss of telecommunications services, physical and electronic loss of data, cyber-security breaches or cyber-terrorism, and computer viruses. Any disruption could adversely affect our business.

Any terrorist attacks aimed at our facilities, and any global and domestic economic repercussions from terrorist activities and the government’s response could adversely affect our business.

Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, the U.S. government has issued warnings that energy infrastructure assets may be future targets of terrorist organizations. These developments have subjected our operations to increased risks. Terrorist attacks aimed at our facilities and any global and domestic economic repercussions from terrorist activities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders. For instance, terrorist activity could lead to increased volatility in prices for motor fuels and other products we sell.

Insurance carriers are currently required to offer coverage for terrorist activities as a result of the federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, which we refer to as “TRIA.” We purchased this coverage with respect to our property and casualty insurance programs, which resulted in additional insurance premiums. Pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007, TRIA has been extended through December 31, 2014. Although we cannot determine the future availability and cost of insurance coverage for terrorist acts, we do not expect the availability and cost of such insurance to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

Risks Inherent in an Investment in Us

Joseph V. Topper, Jr., controls our General Partner which has sole responsibility for conducting our business and managing our operations. Our General Partner and its affiliates, including the Topper Group, have conflicts of interest with us and limited fiduciary duties and they may favor their own interests to the detriment of us and our unitholders.

The Topper Group, including LGC, owns a significant limited partner interest in us and owns and controls our General Partner and has the ability to appoint all of the directors of our General Partner. Although our General Partner has a legal duty to manage in good faith, the executive officers and directors of our General Partner have a fiduciary duty to manage our General Partner in a manner beneficial to its owner, LGC, which is owned solely by Joseph V. Topper, Jr. Furthermore, certain officers of our General Partner are directors or officers of affiliates of our General Partner. Therefore, conflicts of interest may arise in the future between us and our unitholders, on the one hand, and our General Partner and its affiliates, including the Topper Group and LGC, on the other hand. In resolving these conflicts of interest, our General Partner may favor its own interests and the interests of its affiliates, including the Topper Group and LGC, over the interests of our common unitholders. These conflicts include the following situations, among others:

22

Table of Contents

In addition, the Topper Group and its affiliates currently hold substantial interests in other companies that engage in the wholesale motor fuel distribution business and/or own sites. Except as set forth in the omnibus agreement, we may compete directly with entities in which the Topper Group or its affiliates have an interest for acquisition opportunities and potentially will compete with these entities for new business or extensions of the existing services provided by us.

The board of directors of our General Partner may modify or revoke our cash distribution policy at any time at its discretion. Our partnership agreement does not require us to pay any distributions at all.

The board of directors of our General Partner has adopted a cash distribution policy pursuant to which we intend to distribute quarterly an amount at least equal to the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.4375 per unit on all of our units to the extent we have sufficient cash from our operations after the establishment of reserves and the payment of our expenses. However, the board may change such policy at any time at its discretion and could elect not to pay distributions for one or more quarters. In addition, our New Credit Facility includes certain restrictions on our ability to make distributions.

In addition, our partnership agreement does not require us to pay any distributions at all. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the permanence of such a policy in making an investment decision. Any modification or revocation of our cash distribution policy could substantially reduce or eliminate the amounts of distributions to our unitholders. The amount of distributions we make, if any, and the decision to make any distribution at all will be determined by the board of directors of our General Partner, whose interests may differ from those of our common unitholders. Our General Partner has limited duties to our unitholders, which may permit it to favor its own interests or the interests of the Topper Group, including LGC, to the detriment of our common unitholders.

Neither we nor our General Partner have any employees and we rely solely on the employees of LGC to manage our business. If our omnibus agreement with LGC is terminated, we may not find suitable replacements to perform management services for us.

Neither we nor our General Partner have any employees and we rely solely on LGC to operate our assets. We and our General Partner have entered into an omnibus agreement with LGC pursuant to which LGC performs services for us and our General Partner, including the operation of our wholesale distribution business and our properties. We are subject to the risk that our omnibus agreement will be terminated and no suitable replacement will be found.

The liability of LGC is limited under our omnibus agreement and we have agreed to indemnify LGC against certain liabilities, which may expose us to significant expenses.

The omnibus agreement provides that we must indemnify LGC for any liabilities incurred by LGC attributable to the operating and administrative services provided to us under the agreement, other than liabilities resulting from LGC’s bad faith or willful misconduct.

Our General Partner intends to limit its liability regarding our obligations.

Our General Partner intends to limit its liability under contractual arrangements between us and third parties so that the counterparties to such arrangements have recourse only against our assets, and not against our General Partner or its assets. Our General Partner may therefore cause us to incur indebtedness or other obligations that are nonrecourse to our General Partner. Our partnership agreement provides that any action taken by our General Partner to limit its liability is not a breach of our General Partner’s fiduciary duties, even if we could have obtained more favorable terms without the limitation on liability. In addition, we are obligated to reimburse or indemnify our General Partner to the extent that it incurs obligations on our behalf. Any such reimbursement or indemnification payments would reduce the amount of cash otherwise available for distribution to our unitholders.

If we distribute a significant portion of our cash available for distribution to our partners, our ability to grow and make acquisitions could be limited.

We may determine to distribute a significant portion of our cash available for distribution to our unitholders. In addition, we expect to rely primarily upon external financing sources, including commercial bank borrowings and the issuance of debt and equity securities, to fund our acquisitions and expansion capital expenditures. To the extent we are unable to finance growth externally, distributing a significant portion of our cash available for distribution may impair our ability to grow.

In addition, if we distribute a significant portion of our cash available for distribution, our growth may not be as fast as that of businesses that reinvest their cash available for distribution to expand ongoing operations. To the extent we issue additional units in connection with any acquisitions or expansion capital expenditures, the payment of distributions on those additional units may increase the risk that we will be unable to maintain or increase our per unit distribution level. There are no limitations in our partnership agreement or our new credit agreement on our ability to issue additional units, provided there is no default under the credit agreement, including units ranking senior to the common units. The incurrence of additional commercial borrowings or other debt to finance our growth strategy would result in increased interest expense, which, in turn, may impact the cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

There are no limitations in our partnership agreement on our ability to issue units ranking senior to the common units.

In accordance with Delaware law and the provisions of our partnership agreement, we may issue additional partnership interests that are senior to the common units in right of distribution, liquidation and voting. The issuance by us of units of senior rank may (i) reduce or eliminate the amount of cash available for distribution to our common unitholders; (ii) diminish the relative voting strength of the total common units outstanding as a class; or (iii) subordinate the claims of the common unitholders to our assets in the event of our liquidation.

Our partnership agreement replaces our General Partner’s fiduciary duties to holders of our units.

Our partnership agreement contains provisions that eliminate and replace the fiduciary standards to which our General Partner would otherwise be held by state fiduciary duty law. For example, our partnership agreement permits our General Partner to make a number of decisions in its individual capacity, as opposed to in its capacity as our General Partner, or otherwise free of fiduciary duties to us and our unitholders. This entitles our General Partner to consider only the interests and factors that it desires and relieves it of any duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of, or factors affecting, us, our affiliates or our limited partners. Examples of decisions that our General Partner may make in its individual capacity include:

By purchasing a common unit, a unitholder is treated as having consented to the provisions in the partnership agreement, including the provisions discussed above.

Our partnership agreement restricts the remedies available to holders of our units for actions taken by our General Partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty.

Our partnership agreement contains provisions that restrict the remedies available to unitholders for actions taken by our General Partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty under state fiduciary duty law. For example, our partnership agreement:

In connection with a situation involving a transaction with an affiliate or a conflict of interest, any determination by our General Partner must be made in good faith. If an affiliate transaction or the resolution of a conflict of interest is not approved by our common unitholders or the conflicts committee, then it will be presumed that, in making its decision, taking any action or failing to act, the board of directors acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by or on behalf of any limited partner or the partnership, the person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding will have the burden of overcoming such presumption.

Our General Partner’s affiliates may compete with us.

Our partnership agreement provides that our General Partner will be restricted from engaging in any business activities other than acting as our General Partner and those activities incidental to its ownership interest in us. Except as provided in the omnibus agreement, affiliates of our General Partner are not prohibited from engaging in other businesses or activities, including those that might be in direct competition with us

Pursuant to the terms of our partnership agreement, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any analogous doctrine, does not apply to our General Partner, LGO or any of their affiliates, including their executive officers, directors and the Topper Group and LGC. Any such person or entity that becomes aware of a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement or other matter that may be an opportunity for us will not have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to us. Any such person or entity will not be liable to us or to any limited partner for breach of any fiduciary duty or other duty by reason of the fact that such person or entity pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another person or entity or does not communicate such opportunity or information to us. This may create actual and potential conflicts of interest between us and affiliates of our General Partner and result in less than favorable treatment of us and our unitholders.

The Topper Group and LGO are subject to a right of first refusal provision in the omnibus agreement that prohibits them from acquiring any assets or any business having assets that are primarily involved in the wholesale motor fuel distribution or retail gas station operation businesses without first offering such acquisition opportunity to us. However, the omnibus agreement does not prohibit affiliates of our General Partner and LGO, including the Topper Group and LGC, from owning certain assets or engaging in certain businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. Conflicts of interest may arise in the future between us and our unitholders, on the one hand, and the affiliates of our General Partner and LGO, including the Topper Group and LGC, on the other hand. In resolving these conflicts, the Topper Group and LGO may favor their own interests over the interests of our unitholders.

Joseph V. Topper, Jr., as a trustee of a trust that owns a majority our incentive distribution rights, may elect to cause us to issue common units to the holders of our incentive distribution rights in connection with a resetting of the target distribution levels related to the incentive distribution rights, without the approval of the conflicts committee of its board of directors or the holders of our common units. This could result in lower distributions to holders of our common units.

Joseph V. Topper, Jr., as a trustee of a trust that owns a majority our incentive distribution rights, has the right, at any time when there are no subordinated units outstanding and the holders of our incentive distribution rights have received incentive distributions at the highest level to which they are entitled (50%) for each of the prior four consecutive fiscal quarters, to reset the initial target distribution levels at higher levels based on our distributions at the time of the exercise of the reset election. Following such a reset election, the minimum quarterly distribution will be adjusted to equal the reset minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels will be reset to correspondingly higher levels based on percentage increases above the reset minimum quarterly distribution.

If Mr. Topper elects to reset the target distribution levels, the holders of our incentive distribution rights will be entitled to receive a number of common units. The number of common units to be issued to the holders of our incentive distribution rights will equal the number of common units which would have entitled the holders to an aggregate quarterly cash distribution in the prior quarter equal to the distributions to the holders of our incentive distribution rights on the incentive distribution rights in the prior quarter. It is possible that, Mr. Topper could exercise this reset election at a time when he is experiencing, or expects to experience, declines in the cash distributions the holders of our incentive distribution rights receive related to their incentive distribution rights and may, therefore, desire to be issued common units rather than retain the right to receive incentive distributions based on the initial target distribution levels. This risk could be elevated if our incentive distribution rights are transferred to another party. As a result, a reset election may cause our common unitholders to experience a reduction in the amount of cash distributions that our common unitholders would have otherwise received had we not issued new common units to the holders of our incentive distribution rights in connection with resetting the target distribution levels.

Holders of our common units have limited voting rights and are not entitled to elect our General Partner or its directors, which could reduce the price at which the common units will trade.

Unlike the holders of common stock in a corporation, unitholders have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business and, therefore, limited ability to influence management’s decisions regarding our business. Unitholders will have no right on an annual or ongoing basis to elect our General Partner or its board of directors. The board of directors of our General Partner, including the independent directors, is chosen entirely by Joseph V. Topper, Jr., as a result of his indirect ownership of our General Partner, and not by our unitholders. Unlike publicly traded corporations, we will not conduct annual meetings of our unitholders to elect directors or conduct other matters routinely conducted at annual meetings of stockholders of corporations. As a result of these limitations, the price at which the common units will trade could be diminished because of the absence or reduction of a takeover premium in the trading price.

Even if holders of our common units are dissatisfied, they may not be able to remove our General Partner without its consent.

If our unitholders are dissatisfied with the performance of our General Partner, they will have limited ability to remove our General Partner. The vote of the holders of at least 66²/₃% of all outstanding common and subordinated units voting together as a single class is required to remove our General Partner. The Topper Group, including LGC, owns approximately 5.00% of our outstanding common units and 90.19% of our subordinated units Also, if our General Partner is removed without cause during the subordination period and no units held by the holders of the subordinated units or their affiliates are voted in favor of that removal, all remaining subordinated units will automatically be converted into common units and any existing arrearages on the common units will be extinguished. Cause is narrowly defined in our partnership agreement to mean that a court of competent jurisdiction has entered a final, non-appealable judgment finding our General Partner liable for acting in bad faith, or in the case of a criminal matter, acting with knowledge that the conduct was criminal, in each case in its capacity as our General Partner. Cause does not include most cases of charges of poor management of the business.

Our General Partner interest or the control of our General Partner may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent.

Our General Partner may transfer its General Partner interest to a third party in a merger or in a sale of all or substantially all of its assets without the consent of our unitholders. Furthermore, our partnership agreement does not restrict the ability of the members of our General Partner to transfer their respective membership interests in our General Partner to a third party. The new members of our General Partner would then be in a position to replace the board of directors and executive officers of our General Partner with their own designees and thereby exert significant control over the decisions taken by the board of directors and executive officers of our General Partner. This effectively permits a “change of control” without the vote or consent of the unitholders.

Table of Contents

Our General Partner has a call right that may require unitholders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price.

If at any time our General Partner and its affiliates own more than 80% of the common units, our General Partner will have the right, but not the obligation, which it may assign to any of its affiliates or to us, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the common units held by unaffiliated persons at a price equal to the greater of (1) the average of the daily closing price of the common units over the 20 trading days preceding the date three days before notice of exercise of the call right is first mailed and (2) the highest per-unit price paid by our General Partner or any of its affiliates for common units during the 90-day period preceding the date such notice is first mailed. As a result, unitholders may be required to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price and may not receive any return or a negative return on their investment. Unitholders may also incur a tax liability upon a sale of their units. Our General Partner is not obligated to obtain a fairness opinion regarding the value of the common units to be repurchased by it upon exercise of the call right. There is no restriction in our partnership agreement that prevents our General Partner from issuing additional common units and exercising its call right. If our General Partner exercised its call right, the effect would be to take us private and, if the units were subsequently deregistered, we would no longer be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. As of December 31, 2013, the Topper Group, including LGC, owns approximately 5.00% of our outstanding common units and 90.19% of our subordinated units. At the end of the subordination period, assuming no additional issuances of units (other than upon the conversion of the subordinated units), the Topper Group, including LGC, will own 39.15% of our common units.

The market price of our common units could be adversely affected by sales of substantial amounts of our common units in the public or private markets, including sales by the Topper Group, LGC or other large holders.

As of March 3, 2014, we had 11,097,348 common units and 7,525,000 subordinated units outstanding. At the end of the subordination period, all of the subordinated units will convert into an equal number of common units. Sales by affiliates of our General Partner or other large holders of a substantial number of our common units in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common units or could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. In addition, we have agreed to provide registration rights to the Topper Group including LGC. Under our partnership agreement and pursuant to a registration rights agreement that we have entered into, our General Partner and its affiliates have registration rights relating to the offer and sale of any units that they hold, subject to certain limitations.

We may issue unlimited additional units without unitholder approval, which would dilute existing unitholder ownership interests.

Our partnership agreement does not limit the number of additional limited partner interests, including limited partner interests that rank senior to the common units that we may issue at any time without the approval of our unitholders. The issuance of additional common units or other equity interests of equal or senior rank could have the following effects:

Our General Partner’s discretion in establishing cash reserves may reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders.

The partnership agreement requires our General Partner to deduct from operating surplus cash reserves that it determines are necessary to fund our future operating expenditures. The General Partner may reduce cash available for distribution by establishing cash reserves for the proper conduct of our business, to comply with applicable law or agreements to which we are a party or to provide funds for future distributions to partners. These cash reserves will affect the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders.

Table of Contents

Our partnership agreement restricts the voting rights of unitholders owning 20% or more of our common units.

Our partnership agreement restricts unitholders’ voting rights by providing that any units held by a person or group that owns 20% or more of any class of units then outstanding, other than our General Partner and its affiliates, their transferees and persons who acquired such units with the prior approval of the board of directors of our General Partner, cannot vote on any matter.

Restrictions in our credit agreement could limit our ability to pay distributions upon the occurrence of certain events.

Our payment of principal and interest on our debt will reduce cash available for distribution on our units. Our credit agreement will limit our ability to pay distributions upon the occurrence of the following events, among others:

Any subsequent refinancing of our debt or any new debt could have similar restrictions.

Management fees and cost reimbursements due to our General Partner and its affiliates for services provided to us or on our behalf will reduce cash available for distribution to our unitholders. The amount and timing of such reimbursements will be determined by our General Partner.

Prior to making any distribution on the common units, we will pay LGC the management fee and reimburse our General Partner and LGC for all out-of-pocket third-party expenses they incur and payments they make on our behalf. Our partnership agreement provides that our General Partner will determine in good faith the expenses that are allocable to us. In addition, pursuant to an omnibus agreement, the Topper Group, including LGC, will be entitled to reimbursement for certain expenses that they incur on our behalf. Our partnership agreement does not limit the amount of expenses for which our General Partner and its affiliates may be reimbursed. The reimbursement of expenses and payment of fees, if any, to our General Partner and its affiliates will reduce the amount of cash available to pay distributions to our unitholders.

Unitholders may have liability to repay distributions and in certain circumstances may be personally liable for the obligations of the partnership.

Under certain circumstances, unitholders may have to repay amounts wrongfully returned or distributed to them. Under Section 17-607 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, or the Delaware Act, we may not make a distribution to our unitholders if the distribution would cause our liabilities to exceed the fair value of our assets. Delaware law provides that for a period of three years from the date of the impermissible distribution, limited partners who received the distribution and who knew at the time of the distribution that it violated Delaware law will be liable to the limited partnership for the distribution amount. Liabilities to partners on account of their partnership interests and liabilities that are non-recourse to the partnership are not counted for purposes of determining whether a distribution is permitted.

Table of Contents

It may be determined that the right, or the exercise of the right by the limited partners as a group, to (i) remove or replace our General Partner, (ii) approve some amendments to our partnership agreement or (iii) take other action under our partnership agreement constitutes “participation in the control” of our business. A limited partner that participates in the control of our business within the meaning of the Delaware Act may be held personally liable for our obligations under the laws of Delaware, to the same extent as our General Partner. This liability would extend to persons who transact business with us under the reasonable belief that the limited partner is a General Partner. Neither our partnership agreement nor the Delaware Act specifically provides for legal recourse against our General Partner if a limited partner were to lose limited liability through any fault of our General Partner.

The New York Stock Exchange, or “NYSE,” does not require a publicly traded partnership like us to comply with certain of its corporate governance requirements.

Our common units are listed on the NYSE. Because we are a publicly traded partnership, the NYSE does not require us to have a majority of independent directors on our General Partner’s board of directors. Additionally, while we have established a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, the NYSE does not require us as a publicly traded partnership to maintain a compensation committee or a nominating and corporate governance committee. Accordingly, unitholders will not have the same protections afforded to certain corporations that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements. Please read “Management—Management of Lehigh Gas Partners LP.”

An increase in interest rates may cause the market price of our common units to decline and a significant increase in interest rates could adversely affect our ability to service our indebtedness.

Like all equity investments, an investment in our common units is subject to certain risks. Borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest at variable rates. If market interest rates increase, such variable-rate debt will create higher debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make cash distributions. In exchange for accepting these risks, investors may expect to receive a higher rate of return than would otherwise be obtainable from lower-risk investments. Accordingly, as interest rates rise, the ability of investors to obtain higher risk-adjusted rates of return by purchasing government-backed debt securities may cause a corresponding decline in demand for riskier investments generally, including yield-based equity investments such as publicly traded limited partnership interests. Reduced demand for our common units resulting from investors seeking other more favorable investment opportunities may cause the trading price of our common units to decline.

The interest rate on our credit agreement is variable; therefore, we have exposure to movements in interest rates. A significant increase in interest rates could adversely affect our ability to service our indebtedness. The increased cost could make the financing of our business activities more expensive. These added expenses could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

Tax Risks

Our U.S. federal (and state and local) income tax treatment depends in large part on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and our otherwise not being subject to a material amount of U.S. federal, state and local income or franchise tax. If we were required to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or if we were to otherwise be subject to a material amount of additional entity-level income, franchise or other taxation for U.S. federal, state or local tax purposes, then our cash available for distribution to you would be substantially reduced. We currently have a subsidiary that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is subject to entity-level U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax.

The anticipated after-tax benefit of an investment in our common units depends largely on our being treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A publicly traded partnership, such as us, may be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless 90% or more of its gross income for every taxable year it is publicly traded consists of qualifying income. Based on our current operations we believe that we will be able to satisfy this requirement and, thus, be able to be treated as a partnership, rather than a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

However, a change in our business, or a change in current law, could also cause us to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to entity-level taxation. We have not requested, and do not plan to request, a ruling from the IRS with respect to our treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or any other tax matter affecting us.

29

Table of Contents

If we were required to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then we would pay U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rate which, under current law, is a maximum of 35%. We would also likely pay state and local income tax at varying rates. Distributions to you would generally be taxed again as either a dividend (to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits) and/or as taxable gain after recovery of your U.S. federal income tax basis in your units, and no income, gains, losses, deductions or credits would flow through to you. Because a U.S. federal income tax would be imposed upon us as a corporation, our cash available for distribution to you would be substantially reduced. Thus, treatment of us as a corporation would result in a material reduction in the anticipated cash flow and after-tax return to you, likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of our common units.

Moreover, we conduct a portion of our operations and business through one or more direct and indirect subsidiaries, including through LGWS, our wholly-owned taxable C-corporation for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. As LGWS is a taxable C corporation for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, it is subject to an entity-level U.S. federal, state and local tax on its taxable income and gain, which is currently mostly associated with the leasing of certain personal property. Thus, the amount of cash that LGWS has available to distribute to us and, thus, the amount of cash that we will then have available to distribute to you, could be reduced. Furthermore, if, for example, the IRS were to successfully assert that LGWS (or any other direct or indirect taxable C corporation subsidiary through which we may operate in the future) has more tax liability than we anticipate or legislation were enacted that increased the U.S. federal, state and/or local corporate tax rate, our cash available for distribution to you could be further reduced.

Current law may change so as to cause us to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to entity-level taxation. For example, from time to time, members of the U.S. Congress propose and consider substantive changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws that affect publicly traded partnerships. One such relatively recent legislative proposal would have eliminated the qualifying income exception upon which we rely for our treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are unable to predict whether any of these changes, or other proposals, will be considered (or reconsidered) or ultimately enacted. Any such changes could negatively impact the amount of cash available for distribution to you. In addition, changes in current state and/or local law may subject us to additional entity-level taxation by individual states and/or localities. For example, because of widespread state and local government budget deficits, several states and localities are evaluating ways to subject partnerships to entity-level taxation through the imposition of state and/or local income, franchise and/or other forms of taxation. If any state or locality were to impose a tax upon us as an entity, our cash available for distribution to you would be reduced.

A significant amount of our income is attributable to our leasing of real property to LGO. If Lehigh Gas-Ohio Holdings LLC, or “LGO Holdings,” a Delaware limited liability company and the sole member of LGO, were to become related to us for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the real property rents that we receive from LGO would no longer constitute qualifying income and we would likely be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A significant amount of our qualifying income is comprised of real property rents from LGO attributable to the 270 sites that LGO leases from us. In general, any real property rents that we receive from a tenant or sub-tenant of ours in which we, directly or indirectly, own or are treated as owning by reason of the application of certain constructive ownership rules: (a) at least 10% of such tenant’s or sub-tenant’s stock (voting power or value) in the case where such tenant or sub-tenant is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (b) an interest of at least 10% of such tenant’s or sub-tenant’s assets or net profits in the case where such tenant or sub-tenant is not a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as would be the case with respect to LGO), would not constitute qualifying income. After applying certain constructive ownership rules, we will be treated as owning the 5% interest in the assets and net profits of LGO Holdings that Joseph V. Topper, Jr. actually and constructively own. If we were considered to directly or indirectly own an interest of 10% or more of the assets or net profits of LGO Holdings, then the real property rents that we receive from LGO would no longer constitute qualifying income in which case, based on our current operations, we would likely no longer qualify to be treated as a “partnership” (and instead would be treated as a corporation) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Our and LGO Holdings’ governing documents contain transfer restrictions designed to prevent us from being treated as directly or indirectly owning by reason of the application of the constructive ownership rules an interest of 10% or more of LGO Holdings’ assets or net profits. We received an opinion of counsel at, and dated as of, the closing of the IPO that, subject to certain customary exceptions, such transfer restrictions are enforceable under Delaware law, but a court could determine that these restrictions are inapplicable or unenforceable.

The U.S. federal (and/or state or local) income tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships or an investment in our common units could be subject to potential legislative, judicial or administrative changes and differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

The present U.S. federal (and/or state or local) income tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships, including us, or an investment in our common units may be modified by administrative, legislative or judicial changes or differing interpretation at any time. For example, from time to time, members of Congress propose and consider substantive changes to the existing U.S. federal income tax laws that affect publicly traded partnerships. One such relatively recent legislative proposal would have eliminated the qualifying income exception upon which we rely for our treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any modification to the U.S. federal income tax laws and interpretations thereof may or may not be applied retroactively and could make it more difficult or impossible to meet the qualifying income exception for us to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, affect or cause us to change our business activities, affect the tax considerations of an investment in us, change the character or treatment of portions of our income or gain and adversely affect an investment in our common units. We are unable to predict whether any of these changes, or other proposals, will be introduced or will ultimately be enacted. Any such changes could negatively impact the value of an investment in our common units.

Our partnership agreement provides that if a law is enacted or existing law is modified or interpreted in a manner that results in us becoming subject to either: (a) entity-level taxation for U.S. federal, state, local and/or foreign income and/or withholding tax purposes to which we were not subject prior to such enactment, modification or interpretation, and/or (b) an increased amount of any such one or more of such taxes (including as a result of an increase in tax rates), then the minimum quarterly distribution amounts and the target distribution amounts may be adjusted (i.e., reduced) to reflect the impact of that law on us.

If the IRS contests the U.S. federal income tax positions we take, the market for our common units may be adversely impacted and the costs of any contest will reduce our cash available for distribution to you.

We have not requested any ruling from the IRS with respect to our treatment as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or any other U.S. federal income tax matter affecting us. The IRS may adopt positions that differ from the positions we take. It may be necessary to resort to administrative or court proceedings to sustain some or all of the positions we take. A court may not agree with some or all of the positions we take. Any contest with the IRS may materially and adversely impact the market for our common units and the price at which they trade. In addition, the costs of any contest with the IRS, which will be borne indirectly by our unitholders and our General Partner, will result in a reduction in cash available for distribution.

You may be required to pay taxes on income from us even if you do not receive any cash distributions from us.

Because you will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partner in us, we will allocate a share of our taxable income and gain to you which could be different in amount than the cash we distribute to you. Thus, you may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes and, in some cases, state and local taxes, on your allocable share of our taxable income and gain even if you do not receive any cash distributions from us.

Tax gain or loss on sale or other taxable disposition of common units could be more or less than the cash that you may receive in such sale or other taxable disposition.

If you sell (or otherwise dispose in a taxable disposition) one or more, or all, of your common units, you will recognize a gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between your amount realized in such sale or other taxable disposition and your U.S. federal income tax basis in those common units. Because distributions that you receive and the aggregate of our losses and deductions that are allocated to you in excess of your allocable share of the aggregate of our income and gain result in a net reduction in your U.S. federal income tax basis in your common units, the amount, if any, of such prior excess distributions and loss and deduction allocations with respect to the common units sold (or otherwise disposed of in a taxable disposition) will, in effect, become taxable income and/or gain to you if you sell (or otherwise dispose in a taxable disposition) your common units at a price greater than your U.S. federal income tax basis in those common units, even if the price you receive is less than or equal to their original cost. Furthermore, for U.S. federal income tax purposes a substantial portion of the amount realized, whether or not representing gain, may be taxed as ordinary income due to potential recapture of depreciation deductions and other recapture items. In addition, because a unitholder’s amount realized would include his, her or its share of our nonrecourse liabilities, if you were to sell your units (or otherwise dispose of your units in a taxable disposition), you may incur a tax liability in excess of the amount of cash you receive from the sale or other taxable disposition.

Tax-exempt organizations and non-U.S. persons face unique tax issues from owning common units that may result in adverse tax consequences to them.

Investment in our common units by an organization that is exempt from U.S. federal income tax, or a tax-exempt organization, such as employee benefit plans, individual retirement accounts, which we refer to as “IRAs,” and non-U.S. persons raises issues unique to them. For example, a substantial amount (if not most) of our U.S. federal taxable income and gain would constitute gross income from an unrelated trade or business and the amount thereof allocable to a tax-exempt organization would be taxable to such organization as unrelated business taxable income. Distributions to a non-U.S. person that holds our common units will be reduced by U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed at the highest applicable U.S. federal income tax rate and such non-U.S. person will be required to file U.S. federal income tax returns and pay U.S. federal income tax, to the extent not previously withheld, on his, her or its allocable share of our taxable income and gain. If you are a tax-exempt organization or a non-U.S. person, you should consult your tax advisor before investing in our common units.

You will likely be subject to state and local income taxes and return filing requirements in states and localities where you do not live as a result of investing in our common units

In addition to U.S. federal income taxes, you will likely be subject to other taxes, such as foreign, state and local income taxes, unincorporated business taxes and estate, inheritance or intangible taxes that are imposed by the various jurisdictions in which we do business or own property, even if you do not live in any of those jurisdictions. You will likely be required to file state and local income tax returns and pay state and local income taxes in some or all of these various jurisdictions. Further, you may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with those requirements. We currently conduct business in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Maine, Florida, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. Each of these states (other than Florida) currently imposes a personal income tax on individuals (except that Tennessee only imposes a personal income tax on interest and dividends and New Hampshire only imposes a personal income tax on interest, dividends and gambling winnings) as well as an income, business profits and/or a franchise tax on corporations and other entities. We may own property or conduct business in other states, localities or foreign countries in the future. It is your responsibility to file all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax returns. Our counsel has not rendered an opinion on the state, local or non U.S. tax consequences of an investment in our common units.

We will treat each purchaser of our common units as having the same tax benefits without regard to the actual common units purchased. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of the common units.

Because we cannot match transferors and transferees of common units, we will adopt depreciation and amortization positions that may not conform to all aspects of existing Treasury Regulations. A successful IRS challenge to those positions could adversely affect the amount of U.S. federal income tax benefits available to you. Our counsel is unable to opine as to the validity of such filing positions. It also could affect the timing of these tax benefits or the amount of gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes from your sale of common units and could have a negative impact on the value of our common units or result in audit adjustments to your U.S. federal income tax returns.

We prorate our items of income, gain, loss and deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and allocate them, between transferors and transferees (and the other holders) of our common units each month based upon the ownership of our common units on the first business day of each month and as of the opening of the applicable exchange on which our common units are listed, instead of on the basis of the date a particular common unit is transferred. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could change the allocation of items of income, gain, loss and deduction among our unitholders.

We generally prorate our items of income, gain, loss and deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes between transferors and transferees of our common units each month based upon the ownership of our common units on the first day of each month, instead of on the basis of the date a particular common unit is transferred. The use of this proration method may not be permitted under existing Treasury Regulations. Recently, the U.S. Treasury Department issued proposed Treasury Regulations that provide a safe harbor pursuant to which publicly traded partnerships may use a similar monthly simplifying convention to allocate tax items among transferor and transferee unitholders. Nonetheless, the proposed Treasury Regulations are not final and do not specifically authorize the use of the proration method we have adopted. If the IRS were to challenge our proration method or new Treasury Regulations were to be issued, we may be required to change the allocation of items of income, gain, loss and deduction among our unitholders.

If you loan your common units to a short seller to cover a short sale of common units, you may be considered to have disposed of those common units for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If so, you would no longer be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partner with respect to those common units during the period of the loan and you may recognize gain or loss from such deemed disposition.

During the period of the loan of your common units to the short seller, any of our income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to such common units may not be reportable by you and any cash distributions received by you as to those common units could be fully taxable to you as ordinary income. Our counsel has not rendered an opinion regarding the treatment of a unitholder where common units are loaned to a short seller to cover a short sale of common units. Thus, unitholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax effect of loaning their common units to a short seller.

We have adopted certain valuation methodologies for U.S. federal income tax purposes that may result in a shift of income, gain, loss and deduction between our General Partner and our unitholders. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of the common units.

When we issue additional units or engage in certain other transactions, our General Partner will determine the fair market value of our assets and allocate any unrealized gain or loss attributable to our assets to the capital accounts of our unitholders and our General Partner. Although we may from time to time consult with professional appraisers regarding valuation matters, including the valuation of our assets, our General Partner will make many (and possibly all) of the fair market value determinations of our assets (including by using a method based on the market value of our common units as a means to measure such fair market value(s)). The IRS may challenge any one or more of such determinations, or our allocation of the adjustment under Section 743(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, attributable to our various assets, and allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction between our General Partner and certain of our unitholders.

A successful IRS challenge to these methods or allocations could adversely affect the amount of taxable income, gain or loss being allocated to our unitholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It also could affect the amount of taxable gain from our unitholders’ sale of common units and could have a negative impact on the value of the common units or result in audit adjustments to our unitholders’ U.S. federal income tax returns without the benefit of additional deductions.

The sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interest in our capital and profits within a twelve-month period will result in the termination of our partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

We will be considered to have technically terminated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interest in our capital and profits within a twelve-month period. For purposes of determining whether a technical tax termination has occurred, a sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interests in our capital and profits could occur if, for example, the Topper Group, which will own collectively 50% or more of the total interest in our capital and profits at the time of the IPO, were to sell or exchange their collective interest in us within a period of twelve months. For purposes of determining whether the 50% threshold has been met, multiple sales of the same interest will be counted only once. Our technical termination would, among other things, result in the closing of our taxable year for all unitholders, which could result in us filing two U.S. federal income tax returns (and unitholders receiving two Schedule K-1s) for one calendar year. However, pursuant to an IRS relief procedure the IRS may allow, among other things, a constructively terminated partnership to provide a single Schedule K-1 for the calendar year in which a termination occurs. Our technical termination could also result in the re-starting of the recovery period for our assets (and, thus, result in a significant deferral of depreciation and amortization deductions allowable in computing our U.S. federal taxable income). In the case of a unitholder reporting on a taxable year other than a calendar year, the closing of our taxable year may also result in more than twelve months of our taxable income or loss being includable in his taxable income for the year of termination. Our technical termination, however, would not affect our classification as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes but instead we would be treated as a new partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we were treated as a new partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would be required to make new tax elections and could be subject to penalties if we were unable to determine that a technical termination occurred.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

As of March 3, 2014, we had 11,097,348 common units, held by approximately four holders of record outstanding. Our common units are listed and trade on the NYSE under the symbol “LGP.”

The following table sets forth the range of the daily high and low sales prices for our common units, as reported on the NYSE, and cash distributions paid per common unit, beginning on October 25, 2012, the date our units began trading, for the periods indicated. The last reported sales price of our common units on the NYSE on March 3, 2014 was $26.61 per common unit.

As of March 3, 2014, we had 7,525,000 subordinated units outstanding. These subordinated units are owned, directly or indirectly, by Joseph V. Topper, Jr. and John B. Reilly, III, and are not listed or traded on a public exchange. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Unitholder Matters.”

Cash Distribution Policy

General

The board of directors of our General Partner has adopted a policy that requires us to make cash distributions each quarter, in an amount determined by the board of directors of our General Partner following the end of such quarter. In general, we expect that cash distributed for each quarter will equal cash generated from operations less cash needed for maintenance capital expenditures, accrued but unpaid expenses, including the management fee to LGC, reimbursement of expenses incurred by our General Partner, debt service and other contractual obligations and reserves for future operating and capital needs or for future distributions to our partners. We expect that the board of directors of our General Partner will reserve excess cash, from time to time, in an effort to sustain or permit gradual or consistent increases in quarterly distributions. Restrictions in our credit agreement could limit our ability to pay distributions upon the occurrence of certain events. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facility.” The board of directors of our General Partner may also determine to borrow to fund distributions in quarters when we generate less cash available for distribution than necessary to sustain or grow our cash distributions per unit. The factors that we believe will be the primary drivers of our cash generated from operations are changes in demand for motor fuels, the number of sites to which we distribute motor fuels, the margin per gallon we are able to generate at such sites and the profitability of sites we own and lease.

34

Table of Contents

Our cash distribution policy, established by our General Partner, is to distribute each quarter an amount at least equal to the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.4375 per unit on all units ($1.75 per unit on an annualized basis). We increased our distribution to $0.4525 per unit (or $1.81 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the June 2013 distribution, $0.4775 per unit (or $1.91 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the September distribution, and $0.5025 per unit (or $2.01 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the December distribution. In March 2014, we increased our distribution to $0.5125 per unit (or $2.05 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the March 2014 distribution. Our General Partner may determine at any time that it is in the best interest of our Partnership to modify or revoke our cash distribution policy. Modification of our cash distribution policy may result in distributions of amounts less than, or greater than, our minimum quarterly distribution, and revocation of our cash distribution policy could result in no distributions at all. In addition, our New Credit Facility includes certain restrictions on our ability to make cash distributions.

General Partner Interest

Our General Partner owns a non-economic General Partner interest in us and thus will not be entitled to distributions that we make prior to our liquidation in respect of such interest.

Incentive Distribution Rights

Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage (15.0%, 25.0% and 50.0%) of our quarterly distributions from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels (as described below) have been achieved. A trust, the trustee of which is Joseph V. Topper, Jr., holds 85% of our incentive distribution rights and a trust, the trustee of which is John B. Reilly, III, holds the remaining 15%. The holders of our incentive distribution rights may transfer these rights at any time. The distribution declared in March 2014 exceeded the threshold and IDRs will participate in this distribution.

Minimum Quarterly Distribution

Our partnership agreement provides that, during the subordination period (which we describe below), the common units will have the right to receive distributions from operating surplus each quarter in an amount equal to $0.4375 per common unit, which amount is defined in our partnership agreement as the minimum quarterly distribution, plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units from prior quarters, before any distributions of cash from operating surplus may be made on the subordinated units. The practical effect of the subordination period is to increase the likelihood that during such period there will be sufficient cash from operating surplus to pay the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units.

We will pay quarterly distributions, if any, each quarter in the following manner:

If cash distributions to our unitholders exceed $0.5031 per unit in any quarter, our unitholders and the holders of our incentive distribution rights, will receive distributions according to the following percentage allocations:

Subordination Period

Except as described below, the subordination period will expire on the first business day after the distribution to unitholders in respect of any quarter, beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2015, if each of the following has occurred:

Early Termination of Subordination Period

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subordination period will automatically terminate on the first business day after the distribution to unitholders in respect of any quarter, beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2013, if each of the following has occurred:

Expiration upon Removal of the General Partner

In addition, if the unitholders remove our General Partner other than for cause:

Expiration of the Subordination Period

When the subordination period ends, each outstanding subordinated unit will convert into one common unit and will then participate pro-rata with the other common units in cash distributions.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

None.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We did not repurchase any of our common units during the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Explanatory Note

On October 30, 2012 (“Closing Date”), the Partnership completed its initial public offering of a total of 6,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests, and on November 9, 2012 issued an additional 900,000 common units pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters (the “Underwriters”) of their over-allotment option, all at a price of $20.00 per unit (the “IPO”). The Partnership received aggregate proceeds of $125.7 million from the sale, net of underwriting discounts and structuring fees, and $2.6 million of IPO expenses. As previously disclosed, of this amount the net proceeds of approximately $16.7 million, pursuant to the over-allotment option, were distributed to Joseph V. Topper, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership, and to certain of Mr. Topper’s affiliates and family trusts, and John B. Reilly, III, a member of the board of directors of the General Partner of the Partnership.

References in this Annual Report to “our Predecessor”, or “Predecessor Entity”, refer to the portion of the business of Lehigh Gas Corporation, or “LGC,” and its subsidiaries and affiliates that were contributed to Lehigh Gas Partners LP in connection with the IPO. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Annual Report to “Lehigh Gas Partners LP,” “the Partnership,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or like terms, when used in the context of the periods following the completion of the IPO refer to Lehigh Gas Partners LP and its subsidiaries and, when used in the context of the periods prior to the completion of the IPO, refer to the portion of the business of our Predecessor, the wholesale distribution business of Lehigh Gas—Ohio, LLC and real property and leasehold interests contributed to us in connection with the IPO by Joseph V. Topper, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the board of directors of our General Partner and/or his affiliates.

Table of Contents

Overview

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed to engage in the distribution of motor fuels, consisting of gasoline and diesel fuel, and to own and lease real estate used in the retail distribution of motor fuels. Since our Predecessor was founded in 1992, we have generated revenues from the wholesale distribution of motor fuels to retail sites and from real estate leases. In the third quarter of 2013, we also began generating revenues, on a select basis, through the retail distribution of motor fuels at the Commission Sites.

Our primary business objective is to make quarterly cash distributions to our unitholders and, over time, to increase our quarterly cash distributions. We intend to make minimum quarterly distributions of at least $0.4375 per unit, per quarter (or $1.75 per unit on an annualized basis). We increased our distribution to $0.4525 per unit (or $1.81 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the June 2013 distribution, $0.4775 per unit (or $1.91 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the September distribution, and $0.5125 per unit (or $2.05 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the December distribution. In March 2014, we increased our distribution to $0.5125 per unit (or $2.05 per unit on an annualized basis) effective with the March 2014 distribution. The amount of any distributions is subject to the discretion of the board of directors of our General Partner which may modify or revoke our cash distribution policy at any time. Our partnership agreement does not require us to pay any distributions at all.

We believe consistent demand for motor fuels in the areas where we operate and the contractual nature of our rent income provides a stable source of cash flow. Cash flows from the wholesale distribution of motor fuels will be generated primarily by a per gallon margin that is either a fixed or variable mark-up per gallon, depending on our contract terms. By delivering motor fuels through independent carriers on the same day we purchase the motor fuels from suppliers, we seek to minimize the commodity price risks typically associated with the purchase and sale of motor fuels. We also generate cash flows from rent income primarily by collecting rent from lessee dealers and LGO pursuant to lease agreements. Our lease agreements with lessee dealers had an average remaining lease term of 2.5 years as of December 31, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we distributed an aggregate of approximately 638 million gallons of motor fuels to 812 sites, comprised of the following classes of business:

In addition, we distribute motor fuels to 16 sub-wholesalers who distribute to additional sites.

Over 65% of the sites to which we distribute motor fuels are owned or leased by us. In addition, we have agreements requiring the operators of these sites to purchase motor fuels from us.

We are focused on owning and leasing sites primarily located in prime locations with strong motor fuel demand. We own and lease sites located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Maine, Florida, Maryland, Delaware, and with our Rogers, Rocky Top and Manchester acquisitions further discussed below, Tennessee and Virginia. We also distribute motor fuel in Georgia. Based on 2012 data available from the Energy Information Agency, of the 14 states in which we distribute motor fuel, five are among the top ten consumers of gasoline and on-highway diesel fuel in the United States. Over 85% of our sites are located in high-traffic metropolitan and urban areas as of December 31, 2013. We believe the limited availability of undeveloped real estate particularly in the northeastern U.S. presents a high barrier to entry for new or existing retail gas station owners to develop competing sites.

Recent Developments

Supplemental Offering

In December 2013, we issued 3,565,000 common units, inclusive of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, for $26.90 per unit, resulting in proceeds of $91.4 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We used the proceeds to reduce indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility and for general purposes.

Rogers Acquisition

In September 2013, we purchased 13 motor fuel stations, four leasehold motor fuel stations, assumed certain third-party supply contracts and purchased certain other assets, which were held or used by the sellers in connection with their motor fuels business and related convenience store business located in the Tri-Cities region of Tennessee area, for $20.0 million. One of the sites initially leased was purchased on October 23, 2013, for $1.1 million.

Simultaneously, LGO completed its purchase of certain assets to acquire retail assets (including fuel and merchandise inventory). The income that these assets generate is non-qualifying for federal income tax purposes. Subsequent to the closing, we and LGO entered into a sublease agreement for all of the sites and a fuel distribution agreement for the purchase and sale of wholesale fuel. The conflicts committee of the General Partner determined that the apportionment of the consideration payable by each of us and LGO and the terms and conditions of the agreements with LGO were fair and reasonable to us.

Aggregate incremental revenues for this acquisition included in our statements of operations were $17.6 million for 2013.

Rocky Top Acquisition

In September 2013, we purchased one motor fuel station, three leasehold motor fuel stations, assumed certain third-party supply contracts and purchased certain other assets, which were held or used by the sellers in connection with their motor fuels business and related convenience store business located in the Knoxville, Tennessee area. Concurrent with the closing, we entered into a lease for 29 motor fuel stations that we are obligated to purchase, at the election of the sellers, either (a) in whole for $26.2 million on or about August 1, 2015, or (b) in approximately equal parts over a 5 year period for an average of $5.3 million per year beginning in 2016. Due to the obligation to purchase the sites under the lease, the lease is accounted for as a financing. We recorded $26.2 million of debt, which was preliminarily determined to be its fair value, and the payments made until the purchase will be classified as interest expense. We paid $10.7 million in cash at closing.

Simultaneously, LGO completed its purchase of certain assets to acquire retail assets (including fuel and merchandise inventory). The income that these assets generate is non-qualifying for federal income tax purposes. Subsequent to the closing, we and LGO entered into a sublease agreement for all of the sites and a fuel distribution agreement for the purchase and sale of wholesale fuel. The conflicts committee of the General Partner determined that the apportionment of the consideration payable by each of us and LGO and the terms and conditions of the agreements with LGO were fair and reasonable to us.

Aggregate incremental revenues for this acquisition included in our statements of operations were $23.1 million for 2013.

Manchester Acquisition

In December 2013, we purchased 44 independent dealer supply contracts, five sub-wholesale supply contracts, two leasehold motor fuel stations and certain assets and equipment, which were held or used by the sellers in connection with their motor fuels business and related convenience store business located in the Richmond, Virginia area, for $10.7 million.

Aggregate incremental revenues for this acquisition included in our statements of operations were $3.6 million for 2013.

Commission Sites

Prior to September 1, 2013, we leased certain sites to LGO, which, in turn, subleased certain of these sites (the “Subleases”) to third party commission agents and entered into the Commission Agreements with the agents to sell motor fuel on behalf of LGO to retail customers. In connection with the Commission Agreements, LGO also purchased motor fuel from a subsidiary of the Partnership at wholesale prices. Effective September 1, 2013, we assumed the Commission Agreements and Subleases from LGO and terminated our leases with LGO for the Commission Sites. As a result, we now record the retail sale of motor fuels to the end customer and accrue a commission payable to the commission agent at the Commission Sites. We paid LGO $3.5 million (the “Purchase Price”) for the Subleases and Commission Agreements and $2.1 million for the motor fuel inventory. Because the transaction was between entities under common control, the assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at LGO’s book value. The Purchase Price is presented as a distribution from partners’ capital.

42

Table of Contents

The commission agent at each site operates all the non-fuel operations at the site for its own account, pays rent to us for the use of the site and receives a commission for each gallon of motor fuel sold at the site. At the Commission Sites, we own the motor fuel inventory, determine the retail pricing of motor fuel and generate revenue from the sale of motor fuel to the retail consumer. We maintain inventory from the time of the purchase of motor fuels from third party suppliers until the retail sale to the end customer at these sites. The retail fuel margin at the Commission Sites is non-qualifying income for federal income tax purposes and is recorded in LGWS, our taxable C-Corp subsidiary. LGW sells fuel on a wholesale basis to LGWS for the Commission Sites and this income is qualifying income for federal income tax purposes and included in the results of the Wholesale segment.

With the addition of the retail business described above, we engage in:

Given this change, we conduct ours business in two segments: 1) the wholesale segment and 2) the retail segment. See “Results of Operations” for additional information.

Subsequent Events

In March 2014, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility is a senior secured revolving credit facility maturing March 4, 2019 with a total borrowing capacity of $450 million, under which swingline loans may be drawn up to $10.0 million and standby letters of credit may be issued up to an aggregate of $45.0 million. The New Credit Facility may be increased, from time to time, upon the Partnership’s written request, subject to certain conditions, up to an additional $100.0 million. All obligations under the New Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. See “Liquidity – Long-term Debt” for additional information.

Outlook

The Partnership expects its total fuel volume to increase in 2014, driven by the inclusion of a full year’s worth of results from the Rogers, Rocky Top and Manchester acquisitions, offset by a decrease in volume as a result of market conditions. Based on current market conditions, we would expect our motor fuel gross margins to be consistent with historical results. We expect rent income to increase in 2014 as a result of recent acquisitions. We expect to lower our interest expense in 2014 based on our reduced leverage and overall lower cost of debt capital as a result of our recent credit facility refinancing.

Earnings in future periods are subject to various risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Information,” “Item 1. Business,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” the rest of this Item 7, and Note 14 to the financial statements for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and factors that may impact future results.

Results of Operations

Evaluating Our Results of Operations

The primary drivers of our operating results are the volume of motor fuel we distribute, the margin per gallon we are able to generate on the motor fuel we distribute and the rent income we earn on the sites we own or lease. For owned or leased sites, we seek to maximize the overall profitability of our operations, balancing the contributions to profitability of motor fuel distribution and rent income. Our Omnibus Agreement, under which LGC provides management, administrative and operating services for us, enables us to manage a significant component of our operating expenses. Our management relies on financial and operational metrics designed to track the key elements that contribute to our operating performance. To evaluate our operating performance, our management considers gross profit from fuel sales, motor fuel volumes, margin per gallon, rent income for sites we own or lease, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow.

Gross Profit, Volume and Margin per Gallon - Gross profit from fuel sales represents the excess of revenues from fuel sales, including revenues from fuel sales to affiliates, over cost of revenues from fuel sales, including cost of revenues from fuel sales to affiliates. Volume of motor fuel represents the gallons of motor fuel we distribute to sites. Margin per gallon represents gross profit from fuel sales divided by total gallons of motor fuels distributed. We use volumes of motor fuel we distribute to a site and margin per gallon to assess the effectiveness of our pricing strategies, the performance of a site as compared to other sites we own or lease, and our margins as compared to the margins of sites we seek to acquire or lease.

Rent Income - We evaluate our sites’ performance based, in part, on the rent income we earn from them. For leased sites, we consider the rent income after payment of our lease obligations for the site. We use this information in combination with the fuel-related metrics noted previously to assess the effectiveness of pricing strategies for our leases, the performance of a site as compared to other sites we own or lease, and compare rent income of sites we seek to acquire or lease.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow - Our management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow to analyze our performance as more fully described in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Financial Results

For the reasons described below, our future results of operations may not be comparable to the historical results of operations for the periods presented below for our Predecessor Entity.

Publicly Traded Partnership Expenses - Our selling, general and administrative expenses include certain third-party costs and expenses resulting from becoming a publicly traded limited partnership. These costs and expenses include legal, accounting and costs associated with the generation and distribution of Form K-1s to the unitholders, as well as other costs associated with being a public company, such as director compensation, director and officer insurance, NYSE listing fees and transfer agent fees. Our financial statements reflect the impact of these costs and expenses and will affect the comparability of our financial statements with periods prior to the closing of the IPO.

Omnibus Agreement - As a result of the services provided to us by LGC under the Omnibus Agreement, we do not directly incur a substantial portion of the general and administrative expenses that the Predecessor Entity had historically incurred. Instead, we pay LGC a management fee in an amount equal to (1) $420,000 per month plus (2) $0.0025 for each gallon of motor fuel we distribute per month for such services

Impact of the IPO and Related Transactions on Our Revenues - LGO operates certain sites we own and distributes motor fuels, on a retail basis, at these sites. LGO is not one of our predecessor entities. Until December 31, 2011, LGO purchased motor fuel on a wholesale basis from major integrated oil companies and distributed this motor fuel on a retail basis at the sites it operated. After December 31, 2011, LGO began purchasing motor fuel from LGC, rather than from these major integrated oil companies, and distributing this fuel on a retail basis at these sites. As a result, historical operating results through December 31, 2011 do not include the operating results of motor fuel distribution by LGC to LGO; however, for periods after December 31, 2011, operating results reflect the wholesale distribution of motor fuel by LGC to LGO. In addition, prior to the IPO, LGO did not pay rent on certain sites it leased from us. Upon completion of the IPO, LGO began paying us rent on these sites.

Income Taxes - Our Predecessor Entity consists of pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and has not been subject to U.S. federal income taxes. In order to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must generate 90% or more of our gross income from certain qualifying sources. As a result, LGWS owns and leases (or leases and subleases) certain of our personal property, as well as provides maintenance and other services to lessee dealers and other customers (including LGO). Except to the extent offset by deductible expenses, income earned by LGWS on the rental of the personal property and from maintenance and other services is taxed at the applicable corporate income tax rate.

As noted previously, the Partnership began operating in two reportable segments commencing September 1, 2013. Unallocated costs consist primarily of interest expense associated with the Credit Facility, selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes and the elimination of the retail segment’s intersegment cost of revenues from fuel sales against the wholesale segment’s intersegment revenues from fuel sales. The profit in ending inventory generated by the intersegment fuel sale is also eliminated. The table below presents our results for the year ended December 31, 2013 by segment.

Revenues and Costs from Fuel Sales

Our aggregate revenues from fuel sales, which include revenues from fuel sales to affiliates, and aggregate cost of revenues from fuel sales, which include the cost of revenues from fuel sales to affiliates, are principally derived from the purchase and sale of gasoline and diesel fuel with the resulting changes in aggregate revenues from fuel sales, and aggregate cost of revenues from fuel sales, being attributable to the combination of volume of gallons of fuel distributed and/or fluctuations in market prices for crude oil and petroleum products, which are generally passed onto our customers.
