RaceTrac’s first North Carolina convenience store is opening on Tuesday in Monroe. The new store is located along the U.S. Route 74 corridor connecting to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Atlanta-based RaceTrac has also recently expanded into Indiana, Ohio and South Carolina.
It will hold a grand opening for its Monroe store starting at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday with a ribbon cutting. The first 100 customers who line up at the RaceTrac tent will each receive a $20 RaceTrac gift card that can be used at the pump or in the store, located at 4060 W. Highway 74, about 20 miles southeast of Charlotte.
The grand opening celebration will also include food and drink samples and a tuition donation to four students at South Piedmont Community College, RaceTrac said.
