Lehnhoff Energy Group

What Lehnhoff Energy Group does

Lehnhoff Energy Group (LEG) is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Irving, Texas, that provides consulting, development, and managed services to participants in the convenience retail, fuel, and energy sectors. The firm was founded in 2021 and operates out of offices in Dallas, Houston, Miami, and Columbia, Missouri. Its services span three primary pillars: real estate advisory (mergers and acquisitions, NNN lease opportunities, new-to-industry site evaluation, and engineering/design), fuel services (wholesale fuel supply agreement negotiations and wholesale fuel distribution), and managed services (day-to-day retail operations management, compliance and regulatory management, P&L accounting, subtenant management, and an integrated backoffice software platform). The firm also offers specialty services in traditional c-store, truck stop, QSR, and EV charging verticals, plus add-on modules covering construction, zoning/permitting, staffing, and co-branding.

LEG's origin as a convenience store owner-operator, having run 13 stores across Missouri and Kansas at the peak of its retail operations, is the foundation of its value proposition. The firm sells expertise and access rather than technology products, charging fees for tailored consulting engagements and project-based work, while generating incremental revenue through wholesale fuel distribution on a volume basis. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct expert advisory engagement, the team's professional network, and the operational credibility of former owner-operators. Customer segments include convenience store and fuel station operators, NNN real estate investors, new-to-industry developers, and owner-operators seeking management support.

The company holds strategic relationships with major fuel suppliers (Shell, BP, Amoco, Phillips 66, Conoco, Marathon, Exxon Mobil, Valero, Sunoco, Chevron, HF Sinclair, MFA Oil, World Kinect), convenience distributors (Core-Mark, D&H United), and QSR brands (McDonald's, Subway, Papa John's). The firm is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding. No revenue figures, headcount specifics, or financial performance metrics are publicly disclosed.

• Global Partners LP: Northeast US fuel distribution, terminal, and convenience store operator with brokerage and supply services. Comparable to LEG because it spans wholesale fuel distribution, supply agreement negotiation, and c-store operations in adjacent service lines.
• Parkland Corporation: Canadian fuel and convenience retail operator with US retail and fuel distribution businesses. Comparable to LEG because it operates retail fuel sites, fuel supply, and dealer services across similar customer segments.
