ARKO Corp (NASDAQ: ARKO) is a downstream energy and convenience retail company based in Matthews, North Carolina. The company’s core operations encompass fuel supply, distribution and retailing through a network of terminals, independent dealer locations and company-operated convenience stores. ARKO’s fuel offerings include branded and unbranded gasoline and diesel, as well as lubricants and other petroleum products marketed under various regional and private labels.
In its retail segment, ARKO operates a portfolio of convenience stores under the Kangaroo Express banner, serving on-site customers with fuel, grab-and-go food items, beverages and everyday household essentials. The company has grown its retail footprint over the past decade through a combination of greenfield development and strategic acquisitions, resulting in a presence across multiple states in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Texas regions.
ARKO’s distribution network is supported by a system of company-owned and third-party terminals that receive, store and deliver fuel to both ARKO retail sites and thousands of independent dealers. This integrated structure enables the company to serve wholesale accounts, including independent wholesalers, municipal and agricultural customers, as well as its own dealers, with reliable fuel supply and logistics support.
Since its founding in 2012, ARKO has pursued an acquisition-driven growth strategy and completed an initial public offering in late 2022. Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer John F. Herberger, the company continues to expand its retail network, enhance its supply chain capabilities and explore opportunities to diversify its convenience store offerings across its core markets.
