SANFORD, N.C. – The Pantry Inc. announced that it has executed a new gasoline branding and supply agreement with Chevron, covering the 66 Petro Express convenience stores that the company recently acquired in North and South Carolina.

Under the agreement, all of the gasoline operations at the Petro Express stores will be converted to Chevron’s Texaco brand in the months ahead. The Pantry already has an existing long-term gasoline supply agreement with Chevron covering approximately 200 of its convenience stores.

“We are pleased to expand our relationship with Chevron to include our new Petro Express operations,” said Pantry Chairman and CEO Peter J. Sodini in a press release. “The Texaco brand has good recognition in the Carolinas, and this agreement provides us with dependable fuel supplies for some of our highest-volume stores. It also enhances the overall flexibility and security of our gasoline supply.”

The Pantry operates 1,639 stores in 11 states under select banners, including Kangaroo Express, its primary operating banner.
