What MAPCO does

MAPCO Express, Inc. is a privately held convenience store and fuel retailer operating approximately 200 locations across the southeastern United States (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee), with a 2025 expansion into Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania through parent Majors Management's acquisition of 35 stores from Alimentation Couche-Tard. The company sells automotive fuel (regular, mid-grade, premium, diesel, Clear Fuel, E-85, Kerosene, DEF) alongside convenience store merchandise including snacks, beverages, and prepared food such as Noble Roman's Pizza. Headquartered at 1255 Lakes Parkway in Lawrenceville, Georgia, with an additional support office in Franklin, Tennessee, MAPCO employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people.

The company's core technology layer is a consumer-facing iOS/Android mobile application providing touchless mobile pay at the fuel pump and in-store, MY Reward$ loyalty account management, GPS-based station locator with fuel-type filtering, and integration with Venmo and Zipline ACH for payment processing. Supporting infrastructure includes 24-hour storage tank monitoring, advanced fuel filtering equipment, and a recently launched (November 2025) dedicated car wash subscription app co-developed with Convenience & Energy Advisors and Liquid Barcodes. Fuel quality is supported by a published Fuel Quality Guarantee program.

MAPCO's revenue model is transaction-based across three streams: fuel sales, convenience store merchandise, and a newly introduced licensing/royalty stream via the MAPCO Licensee Program (currently focused on Memphis, Tennessee). Pricing is anchored on the MY Reward$ loyalty program, which delivers a 3¢/gallon everyday discount to registered members (up to 25 gallons per visit and 200 gallons monthly), points accrual at 5 pts/gallon and 10 pts/dollar on merchandise, and a MAPCO Better Debit card adding 5¢/gallon. Customer segments are individual consumers (commuters, travelers, local community), retail/hourly job candidates, and licensed operators; no enterprise anchor customers or B2B concentration is disclosed. The company also operates a Fleet Card program and an e-commerce online ordering platform for in-store pickup of prepared foods.

Direct peers

• Casey's General Stores: Midwest-based convenience store and fuel chain with ~2,500+ stores, also operating prepared food (pizza) in-store and a loyalty program. Closely comparable in revenue mix (fuel + c-store + prepared food), with similar geographic and demographic exposure.
• RaceTrac: Privately held southeastern US convenience and fuel chain with similar footprint to MAPCO across Georgia, Florida, and adjacent states. Overlaps directly on fuel-led convenience retail, loyalty programs, and prepared food.
• QuikTrip: Large privately held convenience and fuel chain concentrated in the South and Midwest. Directly comparable on format (fuel + c-store), customer mix (commuters and travelers), and private-label SKU strategy.
• Wawa: Privately held mid-Atlantic c-store and fuel chain renowned for prepared food, loyalty program, and mobile ordering. Directly comparable business model and increasingly a competitive threat as Wawa expands geographically toward MAPCO's footprint.
• Sheetz: Privately held mid-Atlantic c-store and fuel chain with strong made-to-order food, mobile app ordering, and loyalty rewards. Highly comparable on tech-forward convenience retail and c-store fuel model, expanding westward toward the Eastern US.
• ARKO Corp (GPM Investments): Public convenience store operator and parent company of multiple regional banners with strong southeastern US presence. Directly comparable as a multi-banner c-store and fuel consolidator with overlap on prepared food and loyalty.

Broad incumbents

• Alimentation Couche-Tard (Circle K): Largest independent convenience and fuel retailer in North America with ~16,000+ stores under Circle K and other banners. Previously owned stores now operating under MAPCO banner; broader portfolio overlaps MAPCO's fuel and c-store offering at scale.
• Pilot Flying J (Berkshire Hathaway): Large travel center and c-store operator with strong loyalty program and fleet card offerings. Comparable on fuel sales, fleet programs, and convenience food, though anchored in larger-format travel centers rather than urban c-store corner sites.

Regional players

• Kwik Trip: Privately held Midwest convenience and fuel chain with strong prepared food and store-brand programs. Comparable business model though concentrated in WI/MN/IA with limited overlap in MAPCO's Southeast geography.
• Maverik: Privately held western US c-store and fuel chain pursuing aggressive growth through acquisitions and new builds. Comparable on convenience + fuel + prepared food format though regional focus limits direct geographic overlap.
