What Sunshine Gasoline Distributors does

Sunshine Gasoline Distributors is a private, for-profit fuel marketing and gasoline distribution company headquartered in Doral, Florida. Founded in 1987, the firm operates in the wholesale fuel distribution channel and also engages with community-level customers, suggesting a mix of B2B resale (to dealers, resellers, or commercial accounts) and direct local service relationships typical of regional independent fuel marketers. Its operational footprint is small, with a reported employee base of 51-100.

The company's primary offering is the procurement, storage, and delivery of gasoline and related fuel products to downstream customers. There is no evidence in the available data of proprietary technology, digital platforms, branded retail stations, or differentiated logistics technology; the business model appears consistent with conventional wholesale fuel distribution, where revenue is generated on margin between wholesale acquisition costs and selling prices to customers, with volume and routing efficiency being primary value drivers.

The company is privately held, with Maximo Alvarez serving as owner and president. No parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, M&A activity, certifications, patents, partnerships, or product launches are documented in the available source material. The corporate website (sunshinegasoline.com) was not accessible during data collection (displayed only a verification/loading page), limiting the ability to verify operational details, customer mix, or growth posture directly from first-party sources.

Broad incumbents

• Global Partners LP: Northeast-focused petroleum and renewable energy distributor with significant wholesale and commercial fueling operations. Comparable wholesale fuel distribution model, though operating in a different geography and at much larger scale.
• Sunoco LP: Large-scale U.S. motor fuel distributor and operator of fuel terminals. Comparable as a wholesaler of branded and unbranded gasoline/diesel with a multi-state footprint, though materially larger and publicly traded versus Sunshine's regional, private profile.
• 7-Eleven: Global convenience and fuel retail chain with extensive U.S. operations. Comparable in combining fuel and convenience retailing, though at massive corporate scale and as a subsidiary of Seven & i Holdings.
• Murphy USA: Public retailer of motor fuels and convenience merchandise with a high-volume, low-cost operating model. Comparable in the downstream fuel value chain, but with retail site ownership and scale that exceed Sunshine's wholesale positioning.

Direct peers

• QuikTrip: Privately held convenience and fuel retailer operating company-owned stores across the South and Midwest. Comparable as a private, operator-led fuel and convenience business with similar culture, though retail-store-led rather than wholesale.
• RKA Petroleum Companies: Family-owned regional fuel distributor and operator of BP, Marathon, and Sunoco branded sites across the Eastern U.S. Closely comparable to Sunshine in size, ownership structure, and wholesale + retail fuel focus.
• RaceTrac: Family-owned, private fuel and convenience retailer with a strong Southeastern U.S. footprint including Florida. Comparable as a privately held, operator-led downstream fuel business with overlapping customer base and similar owner-operator DNA.
• Wawa: Privately held convenience and fuel retailer with a strong mid-Atlantic and Florida presence. Comparable as a private, customer-focused fuel and convenience operator, though vertically integrated into retail store operations.
• Palmdale Oil Company: Privately held Florida-based fuel and lubricant distributor serving commercial and retail customers. Closely comparable regional competitor with similar mid-sized private, family-influenced operating profile.
• Pilot Flying J: Large U.S. operator of travel centers and truck stops with significant fuel wholesale and fleet fueling operations. Comparable in commercial/fleet fuel distribution, though at national scale and Berkshire Hathaway-owned.
