SPRINGFIELD, Va. -- "We believe that Valero is a great strategic partner in the D.C. and New York markets," said Joe Mamo, CEO of Capitol Petroleum and affiliates Landmark Petroleum Suppliers LLC and NOVA Petroleum Suppliers LLC. "Capitol Petroleum Group is excited to join the Valero family."
As reported yesterday in a Raymond James/CSP Daily News Flash, motorists in Washington, D.C., Maryland and surrounding areas are seeing new teal-and-yellow signs going up at gas stations now that Valero has expanded its presence in the region under an agreement with Mamo's Springfield, Va.-based distributor Landmark Petroleum Suppliers, to convert 27 properties to the Valero brand.
Glenn Zomack, Valero's director of branded sales for the East region, said, "Joe Mamo and Capital Petroleum Group is one of our industry's leading wholesale fuel distributors. With significant market share inside the Washington, D.C., Beltway and a growing presence within the New York boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx, Landmark Petroleum Suppliers LLC, NOVA Petroleum Suppliers LLC and the Capitol Oil Group are an important part of Valero's greater expansion along the East Coast and throughout the nation."
