“We are very excited to be starting the new year with such amazing growth,” said Andy Jones, president and CEO of Sprint. “These are great stores, which are that way because of the knowledgeable and friendly associates. Our team at Sprint is working to make the transition smooth and seamless not only for Greg’s associates, but also for his customers.”
Greg Kenrick, owner of Greg's Gas Plus, said, "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community and our loyal customers for supporting Greg's Gas Plus the past 30 years. We are certain Sprint will continue our tradition of supporting the community. I am thrilled our employees will get to become a part of the Sprint family."

The Sprint Rewards loyalty app will also be welcomed at all 30 locations, the company said.
