In 2019, Southern Star sold their Arkansas assets to SRM Concrete, a privately owned materials supply company based out of Nashville, Tennessee.
Then in 2021, Argos sold the Dallas/Fort Worth portion of Southern Star to SRM Concrete.
Argos currently only operates the Houston area Southern Star locations.
