Murphy USA Inc.

Murphy USA Inc. markets retail motor fuel products and convenience merchandise through a network of 1,757 retail stores located in 27 states. 

In 2024, the company opened 32 new stores and razed and rebuilt 47, according to its fourth-quarter report.

Since its 2021 acquisition of QuickChek Corp., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, and its 157 stores, the company has continued to build QuickChek convenience stores and complete raze-and-rebuilds of Murphy USA stores. The rebuilds replace high-performing kiosk stores with larger 1,400-square-foot stores that feature a broader assortment of higher-margin merchandise and better grab-and-go food items.

Most of the El Dorado, Arkansas-based company's existing and new-to-industry retail gas stores operate under Murphy USA and Murphy Express brand names. Murphy USA stations are typically near Walmart big-box retail facilities, while Murphy Express stores are standalone gas stations and convenience stores. Murphy USA stations tend to be smaller, kiosk-format stores, while Murphy Express stations are larger, traditional convenience-store formats.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are as of Jan. 1, 2025.
