Parkland USA

Calgary, Alberta-based Parkland USA is a major independent supplier and marketer of fuel and petroleum products in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean and the Americas through retail, commercial and wholesale channels. It is the second-largest c-store operator in Canada, with 650 retail outlets and more than 1,830 dealer sites. Parkland USA has operations in 13 western states.

Regarding acquisition or growth activity in 2023, the company remained relatively dormant, with its CSP Top 202 count decreasing by two locations. In April 2022, Parkland USA acquired Conrad & Bischoff Inc., adding 17 company-owned and two leased c-stores in three states under the KJ's Super Stores brand and 39 dealer sites.

Earlier in July 2021, Parkland USA acquired Red Carpet car wash, a 12-unit car wash, retail fuel and c-store business in western North Dakota. Also that year, Parkland USA acquired Lynch Oil, including five Mr. Gas c-stores and forecourts and two travel centers. At the same time, it acquired Urbieta Oil, including 94 retail locations in Florida and Parker's Energy, the wholesale fuel marketing division of Savannah, Georgia-based c-store company Parker's Corp.

In 2020, Parkland acquired the license for the exclusive use of the On the Run brand in most of the United States. Parkland USA completed its first U.S. conversion of a store to the On the Run c-store brand in May 2021, with a goal of becoming one of the industry's premier unit consolidators. It said its goal was to have more than 1,000 On the Run locations by 2024.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are as of Jan. 1, 2024.
