Provides marketers financing to help upgrade technology

Clark’s unbranded dealers may also obtain POS financing through Patriot Capital at rates starting at 1.9%.

In addition, Clark Brands have also extended the special pricing and subsidy program through Jan. 31, 2016. Fuel marketers can take advantage of the subsidy program or may elect to apply the savings towards buying down the interest and pay over time through Patriot Capital.

“We believe that these enhancements help marketers address the pressing needs of keeping up with the latest technology and operational best practices while providing cost effective solutions to our customers,” Stephen Ruch, Clark Crown’s CEO said.

“We are excited to enter into an exclusive agreement with Clark Brands to provide exclusive equipment financing services to their C-store dealers,” said Chris Santy, president of Patriot Capital. “This partnership allows their dealers to continue to upgrade fueling and marketing infrastructure and equipment at their sites. In addition to the special offer related to point-of-sale upgrades, we can also help Clark’s dealers finance other improvements—including gas dispensers, price signs, underground storage tanks and other equipment work—at competitive rates.”

Lisle, Ill.-based Clark Crown Brands has more than 90 years of experience in gasoline marketing and owns and licenses the Clark and Crown fuel brands, as well as, the On The Go, Fast Fare and Express Mart convenience-store brands to fuel and lube oil marketers. Clark Crown also processes payments transactions for Clark, Crown and independent gas stations in 29 states and the District of Columbia and the lube oil brands are marketed both domestically and internationally.
