On September 30, 2014, Speedway LLC, closed on its acquisition of Hess’ retail operations and related assets. This acquisition provides Speedway a significant growth opportunity by expanding their retail presence from 9 states to now 23 states throughout the East Coast and the Southeast regions. Over the next three years, Speedway will begin re-branding Hess stores to the Speedway identity, which is scheduled to begin early this year.
The acquisition is expected to be a good move for motorists. Speedway has a competitive loyalty rewards program with over 4 million members that will likely expand to the Hess brand. Speedway has been a price leader, even driving gas prices in certain markets. Speedway, which is headquartered in Enon, Ohio, is now the nation’s second-largest company-owned and operated convenience store chain in the U.S. with approximately 2,750 stores located in 23 states.
Speedway is a subsidiary of the Marathon Petroleum Corp.
