Holiday Stationstores Inc.

Holiday Stationstores is a regional c-store favorite, with a footprint that stretches across the northern United States from Michigan to Alaska. Among the brand’s attributes are larger-than-average stores, a bountiful food and beverage selection, wide aisles, friendly employees who take the time to get to know their customers, and proprietary Blue Planet gasoline. New builds have stone accents on the forecourt and a heightened aesthetic experience overall.

For more than 80 years, the company has been committed to providing high-quality fuel with great value, extensive product selection and a friendly, helpful staff. Holiday operates a busy store inside the Mall of America, near its headquarters in Bloomington, Minn. Much of its consumer marketing focuses on its coffee and foodservice portfolio.

Holiday also excels at category management: Two of its category managers, Tara Anderson on the foodservice front and Tim Burner for snacks, were named 2017 CSP Category Manager of the Year winners.
