FRANKFORT, Ill. -- In Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan who supported the Earth on his shoulders. Now, Atlas Oil will support another kind of Earth when it launches a new store under its convenience store concept--Earth Market--on Earth Day, Monday, April 22, 2013, with a grand opening in Frankfort, Ill.
The new store format has a branded design that carries through the store and is represented in its branding, signage and even specialty food product labels.
Earth Market has also introduced its own coffee brand--Eco-Earth Coffee--with gourmet coffee bar extras for customizing coffee beverages.
Currently there are five Earth Market stores open in the Chicago area--in Frankfort, Mokena, Hickory Hills, Alsip and Oswego.
