            FFP Partners Announces Purchase of 104 Convenience Stores

     FFP Partners,  L.P.  (AMEX - "FFP"),  Fort Worth,  Texas,  announced it has
signed  an  agreement  to  purchase  104  convenience   stores  from  E-Z  Serve
Convenience  Stores,  Inc. The outlets  being  acquired are in eight states with
over 80% of them located in Texas.  The Company  expects to complete the closing
of the acquisition by year end.

     In announcing the acquisition,  John H. Harvison, Chairman of FFP Partners,
said, "We are pleased to have an opportunity to expand our convenience store and
retail  motor fuel  operations  with this  acquisition.  All of these stores are
located  in states  in which we  currently  operate  and many of the them are in
areas  where we  already  have a  presence.  Although  we will  add  some  field
supervisory  personnel to oversee these  outlets,  we believe we will be able to
handle the  purchasing  and accounting for these stores without adding any other
administrative  staff.  Since  these  outlets  are  currently  operating,   this
acquisition  will have an  immediate  positive  impact on our  earnings and cash
flow."

     FFP Partners is a publicly traded limited  partnership  that currently owns
and operates over 300 convenience stores, truck stops, and self-service gasoline
outlets in eleven central,  southern,  and southwestern states. The Company also
sells motor fuel on a wholesale  basis to other  retailers and to commercial end
users. Its Class A Units are listed on the American Stock Exchange.
