What Coen does

Coen Markets, Inc. is a privately-held convenience store and fuel retailer founded in 1923 in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, operating 50+ company-owned locations and 20 dealer sites across western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and northern West Virginia. The company sells Amoco-branded fuel, convenience merchandise, and freshly prepared foods under its Coen Kitchen brand (including signature items such as Roll Zone pepperoni rolls, hand-breaded chicken, and hand-stretched pizza), serving everyday consumers, commuters, and commercial fleet operators in the Pittsburgh tri-state region. It was operated by the McIlvaine family (brothers Charlie and Andy, grandchildren of founder Charlie Coen) for over 100 years until its acquisition by Cumberland Farms (a subsidiary of UK-based EG Group) on June 1, 2026.

The company's technology platform supports point-of-sale operations, fuel pump management, and a digital loyalty ecosystem built around the Club Coen mobile application. Club Coen members accrue tiered points on fuel (10 pts/gallon), in-store purchases (20 pts/$), and prepared food (40 pts/$), redeemable for fuel discounts of 5¢-25¢ per gallon or Coen Cash rewards. The Coen Pay debit-linked feature adds a further 17¢ per gallon discount, and integration with BP's Earnify app allows stacking of an additional 5¢ per gallon. Fleet customers are served through a Zipline-powered Coen Business fleet card offering online controls, purchasing limits, and fraud protection via driver PIN entry. Private-label products (CoenChoice water, sourced from Creekside Springs) and community programs (Fueling Our Kids, round-up donations) extend the brand.

Revenue is generated primarily through Amoco-branded fuel sales and in-store retail transactions (prepared food, snacks, beverages, general merchandise). Pricing is structured as a freemium loyalty model, with Coen Pay functioning as a hybrid premium tier that reduces credit-card interchange exposure. Following the June 2026 acquisition, Coen Markets operates as a subsidiary within Cumberland Farms' 1,464-site portfolio (1,401 company-operated), and the Coen Kitchen fresh-food platform is being integrated into the parent's multi-brand footprint (Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Quik Stop, Sprint, Tom Thumb, Turkey Hill).
