With acquisition finalized, GPM now operates and supplies over 1,100 sites in 18 states, making it the 7th largest convenience store chain in the U.S.
GPM Investments LLC and its affiliates have taken ownership of 92 convenience stores with fuel sales in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia operated by Mountain Empire Oil Co. (MEOC).
This acquisition will further develop GPM’s existing portfolio of stores in the Southeast region. GPM will continue to operate these stores under the Roadrunner Market brand name.
“The Roadrunner store employees have served customers with dedication and enthusiasm. We are eager to remain on the same path of service with passion and commitment,” said Chris Giacobone, chief operating officer.“Bringing the Roadrunner employees into the GPM family was very important to our leadership team and we look forward to our continued development with Roadrunner. The Broyles family established a great group of stores and they will be in good hands as our company continues to grow and expand.”
