Description of Business and Other Disclosures	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Other Disclosures	Note 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OTHER DISCLOSURES Our business consists of: • the wholesale distribution of motor fuels; • the owning or leasing of retail sites used in the retail distribution of motor fuels and, in turn, generating rental income from the lease or sublease of the retail sites; • the retail sale of motor fuels to end customers at retail sites operated by commission agents and, since April 14, 2020, ourselves; and • since April 14, 2020, the operation of retail sites, including the sale of convenience merchandise to end customers. We had no company operated sites from September 30, 2019 through April 14, 2020. The financial statements reflect the consolidated results of the Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Our primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries: • LGW and CAPL JKM Wholesale, which distribute motor fuels on a wholesale basis and generate qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; • LGPR, which functions as our real estate holding company and holds assets that generate qualifying rental income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; • LGWS, which owns and leases (or leases and sub-leases) real estate and personal property used in the retail sale of motor fuels, as well as provides maintenance and other services to its customers. In addition, LGWS sells motor fuel on a retail basis at sites operated by commission agents. Since our acquisition of retail and wholesale assets that closed on April 14, 2020, LGWS also sells motor fuels on a retail basis and sells convenience merchandise items to end customers at company operated retail sites. Income from LGWS generally is not qualifying income under Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and • Joe’s Kwik Marts, which owns and leases real estate and personal property at our company operated sites that we recently acquired from 7-Eleven. Joe’s Kwik Marts also sells motor fuels on a retail basis and sells convenience merchandise items to end customers. Income from Joe’s Kwik Marts generally is not qualifying income under Sections 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. Interim Financial Statements These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K. Financial information as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included in the consolidated financial statements has been derived from our unaudited financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from our audited financial statements and notes thereto as of that date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. Our business exhibits seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer activity months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters. The COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted our business and these seasonal trends typical in our business. See the “COVID-19 Pandemic” section below. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in revised estimates and assumptions. Significant Accounting Policies Certain new accounting pronouncements have become effective for our financial statements during 2021, but the adoption of these pronouncements did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures. Concentration Risk Approximately 12% and 14% of our rent income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was from one multi-site operator. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our wholesale business purchased approximately 36%, 23%, 11% and 10% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP, Motiva and Marathon, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our wholesale business purchased approximately 27%, 22%, 13% and 10% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP, Motiva and Marathon, respectively. No other fuel suppliers accounted for 10% Approximately 16% Prior Year Acquisitions We completed six tranches of the asset exchange with Circle K on May 21, 2019, September 5, 2019, February 25, 2020, April 7, 2020, May 5, 2020 and September 15, 2020. With the closing of the sixth tranche, the transactions contemplated under the Asset Exchange Agreement we entered into with Circle K on December 17, 2018 (“Asset Exchange Agreement”) were concluded. Through these transactions, we acquired 191 sites in exchange for the real property at 56 sites as well as 17 sites previously owned and operated by the Partnership. Although we no longer collect rent from the sites divested in these transactions, we continue to distribute fuel to them on a wholesale basis. Effective March 25, 2020, we closed on the CST Fuel Supply Exchange. Through this transaction, we acquired 33 sites, wholesale fuel supply to 331 additional sites and $14.1 million in proceeds in exchange for our investment in CST Fuel Supply. On April 14, 2020, we closed on the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets. Through these transactions, we expanded the retail operations of the Partnership by 169 sites (154 company operated sites and 15 commission sites) through a combination of (1) entering into new leasing arrangements with related parties as the lessee for 62 sites and (2) terminating contracts where we were previously the lessor and fuel supplier under dealer arrangements for 107 sites that then became company operated sites. As a result of closing on these transactions, we expanded our wholesale fuel distribution by 110 sites, including 53 third-party wholesale dealer contracts, and supply of the 62 newly leased sites. COVID-19 Pandemic During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus spread worldwide, including to the U.S., posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions. We experienced a sharp decrease in fuel volume in mid-to-late March 2020. Although fuel volumes largely recovered during the second half of 2020 and continue to recover in 2021, we cannot predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Sustained decreases in fuel volume or erosion of margin could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, financial position and ultimately our ability to pay distributions.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition of Assets From 7-Eleven	Note 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS FROM 7-ELEVEN On April 28, 2021, certain newly formed subsidiaries of CrossAmerica, including Joe’s Kwik Marts (collectively, “Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with 7-Eleven, Inc., a Texas corporation (“7-Eleven”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase certain assets related to the ownership and operations of 106 company operated sites (90 fee; 16 leased) The assets being purchased by Buyer include real property and leasehold rights to the Properties, and all inventory and other assets located at the Properties, other than specific excluded assets, such as rights to intellectual property or rights with respect to “7-Eleven” or “Speedway” branding. The vast majority of the sites being purchased have been operating under the Speedway brand, and all sites are being rebranded in connection with the closing of such site pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Buyer is also assuming certain specified liabilities associated with the assets. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, including covenants regarding the conduct of the business at the Properties prior to the applicable closing of such Property. Buyer is closing the acquisition of the Properties on a rolling basis of generally ten sites per week. Through September 30, 2021, Buyer consummated Inventories $ 11,745 Other current assets 1,301 Property and equipment 200,244 Right-of-use assets 7,886 Goodwill 11,351 Intangible assets 41,655 Total assets $ 274,182 Current portion of operating lease obligations 1,510 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 675 Operating lease obligations, less current portion 6,376 Asset retirement obligations 3,628 Total liabilities $ 12,189 Total consideration, net of cash acquired $ 261,993 The fair value of inventory was estimated at retail selling price less estimated costs to sell and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort. The fair value of land was based on a market approach. The value of buildings and equipment was based on a cost approach. The buildings and equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line basis, with estimated remaining useful lives of 20 years for the buildings and five to 30 years for equipment . The fair value of the wholesale fuel distribution rights included in intangible assets was based on an income approach. Management believes the level and timing of cash flows represent relevant market participant assumptions. The wholesale fuel distribution rights are being amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 10 years. The fair value of goodwill represents expected synergies from combining operations, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, and other factors. All goodwill is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes. Management continues to review the valuation and is confirming the result to determine the final purchase price allocation. We funded these transactions primarily through the new JKM Credit Facility further described in Note 8 as well as undrawn capacity under our existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Through November 4, 2021, we closed on five additional Properties for a purchase price of $10.4 million. We anticipate closing on the final three Properties once we are in receipt of all required operational licenses and permits. A ggregate incremental revenues since the closing of the Properties included in CrossAmerica’s statement of operations were $65.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our pro forma results, giving effect to the acquisition and assuming an acquisition date of January 1, 2020, would have been (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Revenues $ 1,119,219 $ 711,413 $ 2,911,962 $ 1,717,596 Net income 9,805 29,702 22,740 125,625 Such pro forma results are based on historical results of the Partnership, the historical results of the assets acquired or to be acquired from 7-Eleven as they occurred under the ownership of 7-Eleven or MPC, and certain pro forma adjustments relating to acquisition costs, interest expense and income taxes. See our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on November 3, 2021, for additional information.

We were in compliance with our financial covenants at September 30, 2021. Our CAPL Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, including our equity interest in an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CrossAmerica and the sole member of CAPL JKM Partners LLC Taking the interest rate swap contracts described in Note 9 into account, our effective interest rate on our CAPL Credit Facility at September 30, 2021 was 2.3 % (our applicable margin was 2.0 % as of September 30, 2021). JKM Credit Facility On July 16, 2021, CAPL JKM Partners LLC (“Borrower”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CrossAmerica, entered into a Credit Agreement, as amended on July 29, 2021 (the “JKM Credit Facility”) among Borrower, Holdings, Borrower, and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank. The JKM Credit Facility provides for a $200 million senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $185 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $15 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility permits up to $7.5 million of swingline borrowings and $5.0 million in letters of credit. The interest rate applicable to loans outstanding under the JKM Credit Facility is equal to, at Borrower’s option, either (i) a base rate plus a margin (which will be determined based on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio) ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin (which will also be determined based on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio) ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum. Commencing on the earliest of (a) the date on which the entire amount of the Term Loan Facility has been drawn, (b) the date on which the Term Loan Facility has been terminated or reduced to zero pursuant to the JKM Credit Facility, and (c) April 16, 2022, the Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to 1.50% of the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. L etters of credit are subject to a 0.125% fronting fee and other customary administrative charges. Standby letters of credit accrue a fee at a rate based on the applicable margin of LIBOR loans. In addition, beginning in October 2021, a commitment fee was charged based on the unused portion of the JKM Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum depending on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio. The obligations under the JKM Credit Facility are guaranteed by Holdings and its subsidiaries (other than Borrower) and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Holdings and its subsidiaries (including Borrower). The obligations under the JKM Credit Facility are nonrecourse to CrossAmerica and its subsidiaries other than Holdings, Borrower and their respective subsidiaries. The JKM Credit Facility contains customary events of default and covenants, including, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to create or incur liens on assets, make investments, incur additional indebtedness, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets. The JKM Credit Facility also contains financial covenants requiring Borrower to comply with, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, commencing with Borrower’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 6.25 to 1.00, with step-downs to 6.00 to 1.00, 5.75 to 1.00, 5.50 to 1.00 and 5.25 to 1.00 on March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00. If an event of default under the JKM Credit Facility occurs and is continuing, the commitments thereunder may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder, may be declared immediately due and payable. Letters of credit outstanding at September 30, 2021 totaled $0.8 million. Our borrowings under the JKM Credit Facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 2.6% as of September 30, 2021 (LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which was 2.5% as of September 30, 2021). As of November 4, 2021, we had $182.5 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. The amount of availability under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility at November 4, 2021 was $2.5 million and $14.2 million, respectively.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Interest Rate Swap Contracts	Note 9. INTEREST RATE SWAP CONTRACTS The interest payments on our CAPL Credit Facility vary based on monthly changes in the one-month LIBOR and changes, if any, in the applicable margin, which is based on our leverage ratio as further discussed in Note 8. To hedge against interest rate volatility on our variable rate borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility, on March 26, 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap contract. The interest rate swap contract has a notional amount of $150 million, a fixed rate of 0.495% and matures on April 1, 2024. On April 15, 2020, we entered into two additional interest rate swap contracts, each with notional amounts of $75 million, a fixed rate of 0.38% and that mature on April 1, 2024. All of these interest rate swap contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and are expected to be highly effective. The fair value of these interest rate swap contracts, for which the current portion is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets or other long-term liabilities, as applicable, was a $0.2 million net asset and a $2.5 million net liability at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 12 for additional information on the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts. We report the unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate swap contracts designated as highly effective cash flow hedges as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassify such gains and losses into earnings in the same period during which the hedged interest expense is recorded. We recognized a net realized loss from settlements of the interest rate swap contracts of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We currently estimate that a loss of $1.0 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense during

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Commitments We have minimum volume purchase requirements under certain of our fuel supply agreements with a purchase price at prevailing market rates for wholesale distribution. In the event we fail to purchase the required minimum volume for a given contract year, the underlying third party’s exclusive remedies (depending on the magnitude of the failure) are either termination of the supply agreement and/or a financial penalty per gallon based on the volume shortfall for the given year. We did not incur any significant penalties during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020. Litigation Matters We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damages, environmental damages, employment-related claims and damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record an accrual when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. None of these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success. Management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation. Environmental Matters We currently own or lease retail sites where refined petroleum products are being or have been handled. These retail sites and the refined petroleum products handled thereon may be subject to federal and state environmental laws and regulations. Under such laws and regulations, we could be required to remove or remediate containerized hazardous liquids or associated generated wastes (including wastes disposed of or abandoned by prior owners or operators), to remediate contaminated property arising from the release of liquids or wastes into the environment, including contaminated groundwater, or to implement best management practices to prevent future contamination. We maintain insurance of various types with varying levels of coverage that is considered adequate under the circumstances to cover operations and properties. The insurance policies are subject to deductibles that are considered reasonable and not excessive. In addition, we have entered into indemnification and escrow agreements with various sellers in conjunction with several of their respective acquisitions, as further described below. Financial responsibility for environmental remediation is negotiated in connection with each acquisition transaction. In each case, an assessment is made of potential environmental liability exposure based on available information. Based on that assessment and relevant economic and risk factors, a determination is made whether to, and the extent to which we will, assume liability for existing environmental conditions. Environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheet within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities totaled $5.6 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Indemnification assets related to third-party escrow funds, state funds or insurance recorded on the balance sheet within other current assets and other noncurrent assets totaled $3.5 million and $3.1 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. State funds represent probable state reimbursement amounts. Reimbursement will depend upon the continued maintenance and solvency of the state. Insurance coverage represents amounts deemed probable of reimbursement under insurance policies. The estimates used in these reserves are based on all known facts at the time and an assessment of the ultimate remedial action outcomes. We will adjust loss accruals as further information becomes available or circumstances change. Among the many uncertainties that impact the estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modifications of remediation plans, the amount of data available upon initial assessment of the impact of soil or water contamination, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment and the possibility of existing legal claims giving rise to additional claims. Environmental liabilities related to the sites contributed to the Partnership in connection with our IPO have not been assigned to us and are still the responsibility of the Predecessor Entity. The Predecessor Entity indemnified 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 for contributed sites. As such, these environmental liabilities and indemnification assets are not recorded on the balance sheet of the Partnership. Similarly, we have generally been indemnified with respect to known contamination at sites acquired from third parties, including our acquisition of certain assets from 7-Eleven. As such, these environmental liabilities and indemnification assets are also not recorded on the balance sheet of the Partnership.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS We measure and report certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. Transfers into or out of any hierarchy level are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. There were no transfers between any levels in 2021 or 2020. As further discussed in Note 9, we entered into interest rate swap contracts during 2020 and remeasure the fair value of such contracts on a recurring basis each balance sheet date. We used an income approach to measure the fair value of these contracts, utilizing a forward LIBOR yield curve for the same period as the future interest rate swap settlements. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2. As further discussed in Note 13, we have accrued for unvested phantom units and phantom performance units as a liability and adjust that liability on a recurring basis based on the market price of our common units each balance sheet date. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 1. The fair value of our accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility and JKM Credit Facility approximated their carrying values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset and the consistency of the market spread.

Equity Based Compensation [Abstract]
Equity-Based Compensation	Note 13. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION Equity-based compensation expense was $0.3 million and insignificant for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $1.1 million and insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The liability for equity-based awards was $0.9 million and insignificant at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In February 2021, the Partnership granted 1,509 phantom units to each of three non-employee directors of the Board as a portion of director compensation. In July 2021, 16,833 phantom units vested, including those granted in February 2021. In July 2021, the Partnership granted 3,252 phantom units to each of five non-employee directors of the Board. Such awards will vest in July 2022, conditioned upon continuous service as non-employee directors. These awards were accompanied by tandem distribution equivalent rights that entitle the holder to cash payments equal to the amount of unit distributions authorized to be paid to the holders of our common units. During the second quarter of 2021, 6,090 phantom units and performance-based awards with an initial target value of $0.1 million were forfeited. In October 2021, the Partnership granted 33,045 phantom units to employees of the Topper Group. Of these awards, 50% vest ratably over three years through December 31, 2024 and 50% vest upon the employee’s death, disability or retirement. These awards were accompanied by tandem distribution equivalent rights that entitle the holder to cash payments equal to the amount of unit distributions authorized to be paid to the holders of our common units. In October 2021, the Partnership granted performance-based awards with an initial target value of $0.8 million. The performance-based awards vest on December 31, 2024 based on attainment of the performance goals set forth in the award agreements. The performance-based awards are weighted 65% for the increase of funds flow from operations per unit (as defined in the award agreements) and 35% for leverage (as defined in the award agreements), with a performance period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 and the reference period for the year ended December 31, 2021. The payout value for both performance conditions will be interpolated on a linear basis ranging from 0% to 200%, which will then be multiplied by the initial target value to determine the value of the units to be issued. The value of the units will then be divided by the 20-day volume-weighted average closing price of our common units as of the close of trading on the day before the conversion date to determine the actual number of units to be issued.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 14. INCOME TAXES As a limited partnership, we are not subject to federal and state income taxes. However, our corporate subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. Income tax attributable to our taxable income (including any dividend income from our corporate subsidiaries), which may differ significantly from income for financial statement purposes, is assessed at the individual limited partner unitholder level. We are subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, cannot exceed 10% of total gross income for the calendar year. If non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, we would be taxed as a corporation. The non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit in any annual period. Certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through our wholly owned taxable corporate subsidiaries, LGWS and Joe’s Kwik Marts. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized on the earnings of these subsidiaries. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates. We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $1.7 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as a result of the losses incurred by our corporate subsidiaries. The effective tax rate differs from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because only LGWS and Joe’s Kwik Marts are subject to income tax.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit	Note 15. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT We compute income per unit using the two-class method under which any excess of distributions declared over net income shall be allocated to the partners based on their respective sharing of income as specified in the Partnership Agreement. Net income per unit applicable to limited partners is computed by dividing the limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting the IDRs, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common units. Since February 6, 2020, our common units are the only participating securities. On February 6, 2020, we closed on the Equity Restructuring Agreement that eliminated the IDRs. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income and weighted-average units used in computing basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit for the following periods (in thousands, except unit and per unit amounts): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Numerator: Distributions paid $ 19,924 $ 19,887 $ 59,752 $ 57,879 Allocation of distributions in excess of net income (11,072 ) 1,318 (50,078 ) 40,484 Limited partners’ interest in net income - basic and diluted $ 8,852 $ 21,205 $ 9,674 $ 98,363 Denominator: Weighted-average common units outstanding - basic 37,887,493 37,867,647 37,877,273 37,202,087 Adjustment for phantom and phantom performance units 19,306 963 20,763 — Weighted-average common units outstanding - diluted 37,906,799 37,868,610 37,898,036 37,202,087 Net income per common unit - basic and diluted $ 0.23 $ 0.56 $ 0.26 $ 2.64 Distributions paid per common unit $ 0.5250 $ 0.5250 $ 1.5750 $ 1.5750 Distributions declared (with respect to each respective period) per common unit $ 0.5250 $ 0.5250 $ 1.5750 $ 1.5750 Distributions Distribution activity for 2021 is as follows: Quarter Ended Record Date Payment Date Cash Distribution (per unit) Cash Distribution (in thousands) December 31, 2020 February 2, 2021 February 9, 2021 $ 0.5250 $ 19,912 March 31, 2021 May 4, 2021 May 11, 2021 0.5250 19,916 June 30, 2021 August 3, 2021 August 10, 2021 0.5250 19,924 September 30, 2021 November 3, 2021 November 10, 2021 0.5250 19,941 The amount of any distribution is subject to the discretion of the Board, which may modify or revoke our cash distribution policy at any time.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Note 16. SEGMENT REPORTING We conduct our business in two segments: 1) the Wholesale segment and 2) the Retail segment. The wholesale segment includes the wholesale distribution of motor fuel to lessee dealers, independent dealers, commission agents, DMS (through the closing of the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets as further described under “Prior Year Acquisitions” in Note 1) and company operated retail sites. We have exclusive motor fuel distribution contracts with lessee dealers who lease the property from us. We also have exclusive distribution contracts with independent dealers to distribute motor fuel but do not collect rent from the independent dealers. Similar to lessee dealers, we had motor fuel distribution and lease agreements with DMS (through the closing of the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets). The Retail segment includes the retail sale of motor fuel at retail sites operated by commission agents and the sale of convenience merchandise items and the retail sale of motor fuel at company operated sites. A commission agent is a retail site where we retain title to the motor fuel inventory and sell it directly to our end user customers. At commission agent retail sites, we manage motor fuel inventory pricing and retain the gross profit on motor fuel sales, less a commission to the agent who operates the retail site. Similar to our Wholesale segment, we also generate revenues through leasing or subleasing real estate in our Retail segment. Unallocated items consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, gains on dispositions and lease terminations, net, and the elimination of the Retail segment’s intersegment cost of revenues from motor fuel sales against the Wholesale segment’s intersegment revenues from motor fuel sales. The profit in ending inventory generated by the intersegment motor fuel sales is also eliminated. Total assets by segment are not presented as management does not currently assess performance or allocate resources based on that data. The following table reflects activity related to our reportable segments (in thousands): Wholesale Retail Unallocated Consolidated Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Revenues from fuel sales to external customers $ 565,022 $ 337,214 $ — $ 902,236 Intersegment revenues from fuel sales 260,713 — (260,713 ) — Revenues from food and merchandise sales — 58,283 — 58,283 Rent income 18,441 3,057 — 21,498 Other revenue 795 2,310 — 3,105 Total revenues $ 844,971 $ 400,864 $ (260,713 ) $ 985,122 Operating income (loss) $ 39,496 $ 2,007 $ (28,915 ) $ 12,588 Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Revenues from fuel sales to external customers $ 339,277 $ 183,617 $ — $ 522,894 Intersegment revenues from fuel sales 128,478 — (128,478 ) — Revenues from food and merchandise sales — 46,266 — 46,266 Rent income 17,144 2,603 — 19,747 Other revenue 290 1,825 — 2,115 Total revenues $ 485,189 $ 234,311 $ (128,478 ) $ 591,022 Operating income (loss) $ 34,500 $ 296 $ (11,104 ) $ 23,692 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Revenues from fuel sales to external customers $ 1,493,614 $ 794,826 $ — $ 2,288,440 Intersegment revenues from fuel sales 604,043 — (604,043 ) — Revenues from food and merchandise sales — 141,330 — 141,330 Rent income 54,350 8,482 — 62,832 Other revenue 2,658 6,480 — 9,138 Total revenues $ 2,154,665 $ 951,118 $ (604,043 ) $ 2,501,740 Operating income (loss) $ 97,645 $ 3,253 $ (81,012 ) $ 19,886 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Revenues from fuel sales to external customers $ 860,737 $ 369,594 $ — $ 1,230,331 Intersegment revenues from fuel sales 254,850 — (254,850 ) — Revenues from food and merchandise sales — 83,178 — 83,178 Rent income 55,275 7,584 — 62,859 Other revenue 1,705 3,046 — 4,751 Total revenues $ 1,172,567 $ 463,402 $ (254,850 ) $ 1,381,119 Income from CST Fuel Supply equity interests $ 3,202 $ — $ — $ 3,202 Operating income $ 94,984 $ 1,022 $ 11,447 $ 107,453 From the date of conversion of the 46 company operated sites to dealer operated sites in the third quarter of 2019 through April 14, 2020, we did not have any company operated sites. Receivables relating to the revenue streams above are as follows (in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2021 2020 Receivables from fuel and merchandise sales $ 34,794 $ 23,800 Receivables for rent and other lease-related charges 5,211 5,650 Total accounts receivable $ 40,005 $ 29,450 Performance obligations are satisfied as fuel is delivered to the customer and as merchandise is sold to the consumer. Many of our fuel contracts with our customers include minimum purchase volumes measured on a monthly basis, although such revenue is not material. Receivables from fuel are recognized on a per-gallon rate and are generally collected within 10 days of delivery. The balance of unamortized costs incurred to obtain certain contracts with customers was $9.9 million and $8.3 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Amortization of such costs is recorded against operating revenues and amounted to $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Receivables from rent and other lease-related charges are generally collected at the beginning of the month.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Interim Financial Statement	Interim Financial Statements These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K. Financial information as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included in the consolidated financial statements has been derived from our unaudited financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from our audited financial statements and notes thereto as of that date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. Our business exhibits seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer activity months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters. The COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted our business and these seasonal trends typical in our business. See the “COVID-19 Pandemic” section below.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in revised estimates and assumptions.
Concentration Risk	Concentration Risk Approximately 12% and 14% of our rent income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was from one multi-site operator. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our wholesale business purchased approximately 36%, 23%, 11% and 10% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP, Motiva and Marathon, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our wholesale business purchased approximately 27%, 22%, 13% and 10% of its motor fuel from ExxonMobil, BP, Motiva and Marathon, respectively. No other fuel suppliers accounted for 10% Approximately 16%
Prior Year Acquisitions	Prior Year Acquisitions We completed six tranches of the asset exchange with Circle K on May 21, 2019, September 5, 2019, February 25, 2020, April 7, 2020, May 5, 2020 and September 15, 2020. With the closing of the sixth tranche, the transactions contemplated under the Asset Exchange Agreement we entered into with Circle K on December 17, 2018 (“Asset Exchange Agreement”) were concluded. Through these transactions, we acquired 191 sites in exchange for the real property at 56 sites as well as 17 sites previously owned and operated by the Partnership. Although we no longer collect rent from the sites divested in these transactions, we continue to distribute fuel to them on a wholesale basis. Effective March 25, 2020, we closed on the CST Fuel Supply Exchange. Through this transaction, we acquired 33 sites, wholesale fuel supply to 331 additional sites and $14.1 million in proceeds in exchange for our investment in CST Fuel Supply. On April 14, 2020, we closed on the acquisition of retail and wholesale assets. Through these transactions, we expanded the retail operations of the Partnership by 169 sites (154 company operated sites and 15 commission sites) through a combination of (1) entering into new leasing arrangements with related parties as the lessee for 62 sites and (2) terminating contracts where we were previously the lessor and fuel supplier under dealer arrangements for 107 sites that then became company operated sites. As a result of closing on these transactions, we expanded our wholesale fuel distribution by 110 sites, including 53 third-party wholesale dealer contracts, and supply of the 62 newly leased sites.
COVID-19 Pandemic	COVID-19 Pandemic During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus spread worldwide, including to the U.S., posing public health risks that have reached pandemic proportions. We experienced a sharp decrease in fuel volume in mid-to-late March 2020. Although fuel volumes largely recovered during the second half of 2020 and continue to recover in 2021, we cannot predict the scope and severity with which COVID-19 will impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Sustained decreases in fuel volume or erosion of margin could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, financial position and ultimately our ability to pay distributions.

Income tax holiday, description			As a limited partnership, we are not subject to federal and state income taxes. However, our corporate subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. Income tax attributable to our taxable income (including any dividend income from our corporate subsidiaries), which may differ significantly from income for financial statement purposes, is assessed at the individual limited partner unitholder level. We are subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, cannot exceed 10% of total gross income for the calendar year. If non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, we would be taxed as a corporation. The non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit in any annual period.
