BP SELLING 17 METRO ATLANTA PROPERTIES

CHICAGO, IL June 26, 2006 – NRC Realty Advisors, LLC (NRC) announced today that it has been retained by BP Products of North America, Inc. (BP) to coordinate and execute the sale of 17 Metro Atlanta properties. The sale portfolio includes BP-branded gasoline stations with convenience stores, debranded gasoline stations with convenience stores, and commercial sites.

As part of its ongoing business operations, BP continually reviews its site network, ensuring its holdings are consistent with current financial objectives. This assessment process includes the determinations of which sites, if any, should be divested from its portfolio. It's a strategy that benefits both BP and its dealers and franchisees.

"We're pleased to serve BP as it evaluates its holdings," said Hope Mineo, Managing Director of NRC. "BP remains a market leader by continually striving to improve its operations and performance. At the same time, they're creating a strong network of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders through its divestiture process."

NRC is offering both an all-inclusive sales brochure as well as individual property specific packages (PSPs). The free brochure provides overviews of the property listings, including location and sales volume. The $35 PSPs ($25 CD-ROM versions available upon request) contain personalized bid packages and detailed due diligence information.
