RaceTrac, one of the nation’s largest convenience store retailers, recently announced its 100th high-flow diesel location in Grapevine, Texas. Originally opened in 2019, the store located at 3955 Grapevine Mills Parkway recently completed renovations to add a rear canopy with high-flow diesel and diesel exhaust fluid options at the pump.
According to a statement from the company, its continued expansion of its diesel network, which began in 2018, affirms its commitment to meet the fueling needs of professional drivers and fleets with high-flow diesel canopies available on-site at RaceTrac and RaceWay stores.
While known for its convenience stores, RaceTrac also operates its own fleet of trucks. This provides the company with a distinct understanding of the challenges and needs of the trucking industry, according to the company. This experience informs RaceTrac’s approach to providing fuel, amenities and other resources to trucking fleets.
“Operating our own fleet gives us firsthand knowledge of what it takes to keep trucks on the road and profitable for their operators,” said Mark Reese, vice president of operations, facility management, data analytics, loss prevention and store support for RaceTrac. “We’re proud to serve one of our nation’s most crucial professions by offering convenient locations, competitive fuel pricing, and services tailored to the specific requirements of the trucking industry.”
This milestone comes as RaceTrac has been aggressively expanding its diesel payment options with the introduction of new mobile payment solutions at all RaceTrac and RaceWay locations. Newly announced partnerships with ONRAMP and Relay will enhance the fueling process at travel centers and high-flow diesel stores across its network.
RaceTrac is also readying to unveil its month-long celebration of professional drivers in September during Truck Driver Appreciation Week. The company’s official Truck Driver Appreciation Month promotions include:
- One free pizza slice per week
- One free fountain drink per week
- 2x loyalty points on fuel all month long — turning every fill-up into faster rewards
In addition to high-flow diesel with DEF at the pump, ample truck parking and other amenities designed for professional drivers, guests can find a wide variety of made-in-store food and drinks to fuel their busy days.
