Its product and service portfolio comprises a broad range of foodservice offerings such as hot and fresh grab-n-go foods, deli, fried chicken, bakery items, pizza, roller grill items, and other prepared foods; beverages; cigarettes and tobacco products; candy; salty snacks; grocery items; beer; general merchandise; and additional convenience store services including lottery, prepaid products, gift cards, money orders, ATMs, gaming, and car washes at numerous locations. Arko also operates a high-value customer loyalty program branded fas REWARDS® which provides exclusive savings on merchandise and fuel. The company segments its operations into retail (fuel and merchandise sales), wholesale (fuel supply to third-party dealers and consignment agents), GPM Petroleum (fuel supply and sales to retail and wholesale sites), and fleet fueling (operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock fueling locations and fuel card issuance for nationwide network access).
Founded with its headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, Arko Corp. maintains a significant market presence primarily in the Southeastern and Southern United States. Its wholesale fuel segment includes supplying fuel to independent fueling station operators and managing dealer sites. The company’s recent strategic growth has included a major acquisition agreement to acquire all assets of Transit Energy Group (TEG), expanding its retail footprint to new states including Alabama and Mississippi, and increasing its store count and fuel volume sold, enhancing its Family of Community Brands and deploying its loyalty program more widely. Arko continues to execute expansion by focusing on both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, leveraging strong liquidity and relationships with partners like Oak Street.
In recent major developments, Arko appointed Jeff Galagher as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, emphasizing his expertise from previous roles at Murphy USA, Dollar Tree Stores, Advance Auto Parts, and Walmart. The company also entered a strategic partnership with Apollo Power to deploy $53 million worth of solar power systems across its network sites, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency. Additionally, Arko reported stable growth in its third-quarter 2025 earnings with adjusted EBITDA surpassing guidance and an increase in net income. The company is actively remodeling retail locations with new food concepts and integrating electric vehicle chargers at select convenience store sites, signaling a tactical diversification in its energy offerings.
Arko Corp. is publicly traded under the ticker ARKO and continues to position itself as a significant player in the U.S. convenience store and fuel retailing industry with a strong focus on community-oriented store brands, diversified product offerings, and expanding energy solutions. Its ongoing transformation and growth initiatives support its strategic objective to create long-term value for shareholders while serving diverse customer segments across its geographic footprint.
