Global Partners LP

Global Partners LP operates 277 convenience stores in the Northeast. The company opened a new Alltown Fresh c-store in Schenectady, N.Y., in August 2020. It features fresh food and made-to-order meals including organic, natural, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options made with locally sourced ingredients. The 4,800-square-foot market is designed to create a farmstand-like experience with a menu of healthy options such as all-day breakfast, salads, smoothies, sandwiches, bowls and more.

In December 2020, the company signed an agreement to purchase Consumers Petroleum of Connecticut, with 27 company-operated gas stations with Wheels-branded convenience stores in Connecticut. The transaction also includes fuel supply agreements for approximately 25 stations located in Connecticut and New York. The companies expect the purchase to close in the first half of 2021.

Global Partners has rolled out PayByCar, a pay-by-text service, at all 30 Alltown gas stations in Massachusetts. The technology will allow fuel customers to pay without having to use cash, a credit card or a mobile app, via toll transponders.

Brands include Alltown, Alltown Fresh, Convenience Plus, Fast Freddie's, Gulf Express, Honey Farms, Jiffy Mart.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are as of Jan. 1, 2021.
