ROLAND, Okla. --Spirit Petroleum recently announced its continued expansion in the American Southwest with the opening of the newest Spirit-branded gas station in Oklahoma, company president Vera Haskins said.
The retail fuel site, known as Freddy's One Stop, is located in Roland, Okla., and it is owned and supplied by Spirit licensee Littlefield Oil Co., a third-generation, family-owned business based in Fort Smith, Ark.
The Spirit station began operating under its new flag on Feb. 8, 2015.
"There's so much about the Spirit brand that appealed to us when we were in the market for a new flag for this site," said Aaron Littlefield, president and CEO of Littlefield Oil. "The image is just as strong as those of some of the major oil brands, and we'd been struggling to find the value in some of the ones we looked at for this location. Spirit was the obvious best choice. We just got the image up and it looks great."
Haskins said, "We're so glad to welcome Littlefield Oil and Freddy's One Stop to the Spirit family. Helping marketers succeed is our sole purpose, and we anticipate bringing Spirit's unique combination of business solutions to other sites in the state of Oklahoma."
New Hope, Pa.-based Spirit is a nationally recognized petroleum brand managed by marketers and owned by the non-profit Petroleum Marketers Association of America (PMAA). Spirit's minimal requirements, affordable fees and flexible business solutions give businesses of all sizes the control they need to compete aggressively in today's tough environment, the company said. Spirit offers a sophisticated, patriotic brand image that inspires loyalty and confidence in consumers nationwide, it added.
