OWENSBORO, Ky. -- Valor Oil LLC purchased the assets of Miller Oil Co. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Louisville, Ky.-based Miller Oil operates seven convenience stores offering Marathon, Gulf or unbranded fuels. Founded in 1977, Miller Oil also has four oil jobber companies and provides lubricants and fuels to a wide range of businesses in its local operating region.
