7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
7-Eleven will be buying up a large portion of Sunoco convenience stores so that they can focus more on other areas of the business. I feel like we may have already discussed this here, but it seems to be hitting mainstream news sources today.

Most of those Sunoco-owned stores are in areas that there were Alon/7-11s. Most of which have been converted into DK stores by Alon’s parent DelekUSA.

Or it may just be that they bought other Sunoco stores in the past (such as a very few here that were part of the AM/PM branding, originally from Atlantic fuels a number of years back - with their promotional commercial set to the tune that Notre Dame uses for their song).SamSpade wrote: ↑January 11th, 2024, 2:50 pm 7-Eleven will be buying up a large portion of Sunoco convenience stores so that they can focus more on other areas of the business.

Re: 7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
What is funny about this is this is a good portion of this, including the entire Albuquerque market, represent the old Alon/7-Eleven units and many of these were very recently debranded from 7-Eleven. I guess they can go right back to 7-Eleven again. These are very low quality, old, outdated sites. A perfect fit for 7-Eleven. A few newer sites may be mixed in there somewhere.BillyGr wrote: ↑January 11th, 2024, 4:38 pmOr it may just be that they bought other Sunoco stores in the past (such as a very few here that were part of the AM/PM branding, originally from Atlantic fuels a number of years back - with their promotional commercial set to the tune that Notre Dame uses for their song).SamSpade wrote: ↑January 11th, 2024, 2:50 pm 7-Eleven will be buying up a large portion of Sunoco convenience stores so that they can focus more on other areas of the business.

I thought 7-11 already took over all of Sunoco's retail operations...I guess that was only in the Northeast at the time.

Re: 7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
The Sunoco sites in NM are mostly in Eastern NM, adjoining Texas. In the rest of NM there is Speedway, especially in Albuquerque. I noticed in ABQ several 7-11s converted to DKs. And a bunch of ex-7-11s that are now part of some independent chain-they use the existing 7-11 signage frames-that all sell Alon fuel. And there are many Speedways-which were originally Giant stores until the Marathon takeover. There have been no Speedway-to-7-11 conversions in that area-or in the rest of NM and AZ, other than offering Big Gulps and Slurpees.

This purchase allows 7-11 to take in the remaining part of Stripes/Laredo Taco that they do not already own, per multiple sites.

Not even all of them there, just the ones that were part of that AM/PM group coming from the former Atlantic fuels.
There are still many Sunoco stores that are not part of 7/11 all over this area in NY.

7-Eleven will destroy whatever is good about Sunoco.

I'm all confused how the company is divided now and who controls what. I thought all Sunoco's with APlus (a brand that came from Atlantic when Arco went away in the Northeast?) branded mini marts were company owned, and that is what 7-11 acquired, but now I have no idea as I see a few APlus units have converted to 7/11 (fuel still branded Sunoco), a few that have completely de-branded to generic 'Food Mart' status (sold to independent operators?), and others that have received a remodel with the new APlus branding. And then there were plenty others that never had APlus branding to begin with (either generic mini mart and/or mainly an auto repair facility)
