McLane's Southern California facility will continue to manage distribution of a broad line of products for G&M Oil that include tobacco, center of store, GMP, fast foods, deli and a variety of frozen products.
"While working with McLane over the last nine years, we've [image-nocss] experienced increased efficiencies and a 7% per year growth rate," said George J. Pearson, G&M Oil director of stores. "McLane's all-inclusive solutions have helped us easily rollout and sell a broad line of products, while supporting operations at competitive rates with less complexity than other options in the market."
"Optimizing the purchase, flow and sale of products is key to growing convenience store revenue in a down economy," said Tony Frankenberger, vice president of merchandising at Temple, Texas-based McLane. "Supporting a successful chain such as G&M Oil over the years has been a privilege and we look forward to supporting them as they continue to expand."
McLane is a $34 billion supply chain services leader, providing grocery and foodservice supply chain solutions for thousands of c-stores, mass merchants, drug stores and military locations, as well as thousands of chain restaurants throughout the United States. With 38 distribution centers and one of the nation's largest private fleets, the company optimizes the purchase, flow and sale of products from thousands of suppliers to more than 60,000 locations. Every year, McLane delivers more than 10 billion pounds of merchandise to customers in every U.S. state and county, it said. It is a wholly owned unit of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Omaha, and employs 15,000 teammates globally.
Huntington Beach, Calif.-based G&M Oil operates 167 stores in the Southern California market. Pearson is the sole stockholder.
