Fuel wholesalerChristensen Inc. is expanding into the Southwest region through an acquisition of supply contracts for branded fuel locations in the Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, areas from Southwest Fuel Supply. Southwest Fuel Supply is a subsidiary of California Fuel Supply Inc., Lafayette, California.
The strategic acquisition marks Christensen's fuel delivery debut in this region.
“In recent years, we have developed a unique suite of services that we are pleased to offer to retailers in new geographies,” said Justin Christensen, vice president of retail fuels. “We are grateful to the California Fuel Supply team and look forward to building upon the elevated level of service that has become synonymous with their name in the greater Phoenix and Tucson markets.”
With this acquisition, Christensen will begin to supply unbranded and branded fuel to gas stations in the Southwest, featuring 76, Valero, and Mobil products. The company also provides dedicated account management and time-saving solutions through its customer portal and app. This technology received the 2022 Phillips 66 Innovation Award for enabling retailers to monitor fuel levels, manage orders, and access reports, the company said.
Christensen now supplies more than 300 retail sites across Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Arizona, offering branded fuel products from Chevron, Shell, Phillips 66, 76, Marathon, Mobil, Sinclair, Sunoco and VP Racing Fuels. Established in 1935, Christensen is a family-owned and -operated company based in Richland, Washington.
