"Christiansen who tried to make that work.." In quick order the corp had run Florida tourist boats, Texas convenience stores and then Energy in WVA. They only had two C stores (with attached gas stations), but pumpers extrapolated that to taking over the 711-Universe.
They made a big deal of acquiring West Virginia coal assets... almost surely worthless disconnected slivers acquired from tax sales.
Shares rose from a nickel to above $1.50. I followed the company starting from just after it left tour boats and entered C-stores and before energy. That was my introduction to the monumental stupidity of slobbering penny players.
