RaceTrac expanded its partnership with Core-Mark, adding every store to its distribution system, effective immediately, Core-Mark announced Monday.

Core-Mark already supported RaceTrac’s franchise network of 240 RaceWay locations.

“RaceTrac and Core-Mark share a commitment to putting customers first, supporting our goal of delivering whatever the guest needs and wants, any time of day,” said Robby Posener, chief development officer at RaceTrac. “Expanding our partnership allows us to leverage Core-Mark’s scale, product assortment and supply-chain capabilities to ensure we continue delivering the convenience and quality our guests expect every time they visit a RaceTrac.”

Under this new agreement, Core-Mark will serve as the national supplier for the growing footprint of more than 600 RaceTrac convenience-store locations across the Southeast and Texas. 

“Core-Mark is excited to grow our relationship with RaceTrac,” said Bill Stein, executive vice president of enterprise growth at Core-Mark, Westlake, Texas. “RaceTrac is a dynamic, customer-focused and food-forward brand, and we are eager to support their mission of making people’s lives simpler and more enjoyable … and this collaboration further underscores our commitment to providing best-in-class products and services that enhance the convenience store experience.”

Founded in 1934 and based in Atlanta, RaceTrac is a privately held, family-owned company.
