Nouria Energy Corporation

What Nouria Energy Corporation does

Nouria Energy Corporation is a privately held, Worcester, Massachusetts-based convenience-store and fuel retailer founded in 1989 and operating 1,001-5,000 employees across an integrated retail, foodservice, and commercial-fuels platform. The company runs company-owned convenience-store and fuel locations across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and — following the October 2024 acquisition of Enmarket — the Southeast United States. Its core consumer offering combines branded and unbranded fuel with proprietary in-store brands: Nouria's Kitchen (handcrafted sandwiches, fresh pizza), Café Nouria (coffee and Frazil beverages), My Nouria (grab-and-go snacks and drinks), tobacco and alcohol categories, and the Golden Nozzle car wash. Customer engagement is anchored by the Nouria Rewards mobile loyalty program on iOS and Android, NouriaPay mobile payment offering up to 15¢ per gallon in fuel savings, and integration with the Fuel Rewards network.

The technology surface supporting the business is a conventional convenience-store and fuel-retail platform: point-of-sale and back-office systems, the NouriaPay rewards-and-payment layer, the Nouria Rewards mobile application, and fleet-card management tools for commercial accounts. Co-branded food partnerships with Amato's and Krispy Krunchy Chicken extend the proprietary menu without vertical food-production capex.

Nouria's revenue is generated through transaction-based fuel sales (retail and commercial wholesale), convenience-store merchandise (snacks, beverages, tobacco, beer, wine, liquor), foodservice, fleet-card services (recurring/subscription fuel management for commercial customers), and commercial real-estate services tied to its store and fuel-station properties. Two primary customer segments drive the model: individual consumers and travelers seeking fuel, fresh food, and convenience rewards (primary), and commercial fleet customers seeking wholesale fuel and payment-management solutions (secondary). The company is led by founder, President, CEO, and owner Tony El-Nemr, has earned the CSP Customer Experience Award #1 spot in both 2024 and 2025, and was named C-Store Decisions 2022 Store Operator of the Year.
