RaceTrac

Serving customers since 1934, RaceTrac has nearly 800 retail locations representing the RaceTrac and RaceWay brands (ranked at No. 35) in 14 states in the southeast, offering customers an affordable one-stop shop featuring a wide selection of food and beverage favorites, as well as competitively priced fuel. 

RaceTrac has more than 10,200 team members across RaceTrac, RaceWay and affiliated companies Metroplex Energy and Energy Dispatch. While its c-store count grew modestly through new-to-industry locations last year, RaceTrac cemented its place among heavyweight fuel marketers with the purchase of the iconic Gulf Oil brand in 2023. Through its wholly owned wholesale fuel supply and trading subsidiary, Metroplex Energy, RaceTrac completed the purchase of Gulf Oil LLC, Wellesley, Massachusetts. As part of the transaction, RaceTrac acquired Gulf's nationally recognized fuel brand across the United States and U.S. territories, all of Gulf's branded distributor and license agreements and the exclusive rights to market fuel at Gulf's retail locations along the Massachusetts Turnpike. Metroplex Energy sells fuel to all RaceTrac locations as well as many other leading retailers and fuel wholesalers in 15 states, primarily in the southeast. 

Last year, RaceTrac expanded into 0hio with its first location. This follows expansions into Indiana and South Carolina with new locations the year before. Meanwhile, the company continued building stores in Alabama, having announced expansion plans in that state through 2025.

Regarding foodservice, merchandise and services, RaceTrac launched the RaceTrac Rewards + Debit card in 2021, which saves customers discounts per gallon at the fuel pump. It combined the chain's Fuel Rewards, Rewards VIP and Debit Rewards offers into a single program. New RaceTrac locations offer grab-and-go pizza and sandwiches made in-house; whole and cut fruit and salads, made and delivered fresh daily; the retailer's Swirl World frozen treat stations offering a variety of ice creams, yogurts and sorbets with 28 toppings; six blends of Crazy Good Coffee with creamers, sweeteners and toppings; and foods including roller-grill favorites such as Nathan's Famous 100% Premium All Beef Hot Dogs, tamales with traditional corn husk wraps and stuffed with seasoned pork and taquitos featuring battered and fried tortillas filled with meats, cheeses and spices.

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