Arko owns 100% of GPM Investments LLC and is one of the largest operators of convenience stores and wholesalers of fuel in the United States. It has more than 1,500 stores under more than 25 regional store brands, including fas mart, Li’l Cricket and Scotchman.

Since joining Arko in early 2023, Mann has played a key role in advancing the company’s strategic initiatives, strengthening investor engagement, and supporting capital markets activities.

“Jordan has been an integral part of Arko’s leadership team and a driving force behind our strategic and financial priorities,” said Chairman, President and CEO Arie Kotler. “His deep familiarity with our business and leadership approach position him well to support a smooth transition and continued execution of our long-term strategy.”

Mann brings more than a decade of experience in finance and capital markets to the role. Before joining Arko in 2023, he held senior positions in investment banking at Morgan Stanley, where he served as an executive director, and at Credit Suisse, where he was a director.

“I’m honored to take on this role and to continue working closely with Arie and the leadership team during this important period for Arko,” said Mann. “We have a clear strategic vision and a strong foundation for growth, and I look forward to helping drive continued progress as we build long-term value for shareholders.”

Arko operates in four segments: retail, which includes convenience stores under a family of community brands selling merchandise and fuel products to retail customers; wholesale, which supplies fuel to independent dealers and consignment agents; fleet fueling, which includes the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations and issuance of proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites; and GPM Petroleum, which sells and supplies fuel to the company’s retail and wholesale sites.
