EXHIBIT 99.1
Star Group, L.P. Declares Quarterly Distribution of 16.25 Cents per Unit
STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Group, L.P. (the "Company" or "Star") (NYSE:SGU), a home energy
distributor and services provider, today declared its quarterly distribution of $0.1625 per common unit for the three months ended September
30, 2023.
About Star Group, L.P.
Star Group, L.P. is a full service provider specializing in the sale of
home heating products and services to residential and commercial customers to heat their homes and buildings. The Company also sells and
