Needless to say, these are very exciting times at Cumberland Farms and Gulf Oil. Our partnership brings together two fantastic brands with a combined 180 years of providing excellent products and services to the communities we serve.
This partnership has already manifested itself in our shared channels of distribution, our shared administrative resources, our new shared corporate support campus in Framingham MA, and even the shared website you're reading right now.
But at the heart of all this is a shared mission that puts our customers right at the center of everything we do. Our goal is to make every day easier for the communities we serve. We do it by offering a variety of great foods, delicious beverages, basic necessities, the highest quality gasoline, and the best service all in one unbelievably convenient stop.
Cumberland Farms' strength in convenience and food retailing and Gulf's expertise in energy distribution combine in a very unique way to satisfy the needs of busy people everywhere.
Both companies are perfectly situated to provide a best of both worlds experience. We have the scale and size comparable to the world's largest corporations, yet we still think and feel small enough to care about every customer, every day.
We bring that same philosophy to the way we work with our vendors, distributors, and station owners. We treat our business partners truly as partners. We strongly believe in maintaining the roots that got us here by creating and maintaining long and enduring relationships. That's why we prefer a conversation to a voicemail and a face-to-face meeting to an email every time.
We live our core values every day, we honor our commitments, and we are always looking to build lasting relationships with everyone who comes in contact with our two great brands.
We've been doing it collectively for well over a century, and we will certainly be doing it a century from now.
Sincerely,
The Cumberland Farms/Gulf Oil Leadership Team
