Baltimore-based convenience-store chain Royal Farms is expanding its store count this month with the opening of a new store in Rustburg, Virginia, and New Freedom, Pennsylvania.
The Virginia location at 8826 Wards Road will host a special, ticketed “Get Ready to ROFO” soft opening on Oct. 16 and 17, while the Pennsylvania location at 732 E Forrest Ave., will host its soft-opening event on Oct. 23 and 24.
Both locations will feature a gas station with 16 fueling positions.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Royal Farms to Rustburg and introduce this vibrant community to our unique blend of quality food and convenient service,” said Lisa Daley, district leader at Royal Farms.
The c-store chain’s locations will also feature its fried chicken, as well as grab-and-go options, including made-to-order sandwiches and breakfast offerings.
“We’re excited to bring Royal Farms to the New Freedom area and offer our signature combination of quality food and convenience,” said Ricki Ettinger, district leader at Royal Farms. “This store opening highlights our dedication to growing across Pennsylvania.”
Royal Farms is No. 28 on CSP’s 2024 Top 202 U.S. c-store chains by store count.
Royal Farms opened its first c-store in Baltimore in 1959 under the name White Jug. Today, the Mid-Atlantic chain has more than 300 locations in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina.
