EG Group Marketing US Assets

[storewanderer]

So I guess the talk we heard before about a deal with Circle K is off the table now...?

Seems like this EG Group wants to do anything but actually run decent c-stores in the US. If they were serious they would have bought Speedway and converted their entire network in the US to Speedway and had a very successful US store chain.

Surprised they would bother with sale-leaseback. They should just LEAVE the US. Terrible operator. I'd say they are worse than 7-Eleven, but I won't go that far, but it is a fine line. Hopefully they haven't destroyed Cumberland Farms the way they've destroyed the Kroger c-store assets.

Still wondering why in Reno they are charging 9% sales tax at one store (tax is in the low 8 range) and why the Kroger Fuel Rewards has been down for SIX MONTHS and despite the franchisee in the store or his brother or whoever he is saying they keep asking about it that it never gets fixed. Also most of the Cumberland Farms snack products are not stocked anymore. Just a real joke of an operation. They did install a new machine for the Hyper Freeze though... good stuff.

EG Group uses weird plastic cups for fountain/freeze that have no printing or store name of any kind on the cups. Looks completely low end and low rent like you went to an independent no brand gas station, and the cups are so thin you cannot reuse them, they may as well be paper cups. At least the coffee cups say Cumberland Farms.

They may just have been out of other cups - we had those plain plastic ones a couple times in Cumberland here but not for too long and then the printed ones returned.

Otherwise, the stores seem fine and not a whole lot different from prior to their ownership of them. Too bad they couldn't use that to make their other locations better off.
