Sunoco LP/Aplus

Sunoco operates 76 company-owned convenience stores and focuses on reducing waste in its foodservice program. It has been by concentrating on made-to-order programs and reducing grab-and-go products, which are more likely to go to waste. It also has been aiming to use key ingredients to build multiple food offerings, lessening the number of products it must keep in stock.

Sunoco LP is a master limited partnership that operates or franchises retail fuel sites and c-stores, most under the APlus banner. In addition, the company distributes motor fuel to convenience stores, independent dealers, commercial customers and distributors. Its parent company is Energy Transfer Partners LP, which owns Sunoco's general partner and incentive distribution rights.

The name Sunoco LP was launched at the end of 2014 after the company acquired Susser Petroleum Partners and its Stripes stores. 7-Eleven Inc. completed its acquisition of 1,030 Sunoco and Stripes c-stores in January 2018. The deal also included the trademarks and intellectual property of the Laredo Taco Co. to 7-Eleven. The 7-Eleven-Sunoco deal marked a shift in Sunoco's attention and resources toward wholesale fuel distribution.
