Company Overview

Murphy USA is a leading downstream marketer of gasoline, diesel and convenience store products in the United States. Headquartered in El Dorado, Arkansas, the company was originally established as part of Murphy Oil Corporation and was spun off as an independent public entity in 2013. Since its separation, Murphy USA has focused on retail fueling services and convenience offerings designed to deliver value and convenience to consumers.

The company’s primary operations center on two retail formats. Murphy USA sites are typically co-located with mass-merchandise retailers, offering standard grades of gasoline and diesel along with a curated assortment of convenience items such as snacks, beverages, tobacco products and basic automotive supplies. In recent years, Murphy Express, the company’s high-throughput convenience store brand, has expanded rapidly, featuring made-to-order food, fresh coffee programs and extended in-store selections to meet rising consumer demand for fresh and on-the-go offerings.

Murphy USA’s network spans more than 1,500 locations across 23 states, with a strong presence in the southern, midwestern and southeastern regions of the country. Sites are strategically placed to capture both commuter traffic and shoppers in proximity to large retail centers. The company emphasizes operational efficiency, attractive fuel pricing and customer-focused store layouts as competitive advantages in the highly fragmented retail petroleum sector.

Led by President and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Clyde, Murphy USA operates as a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MUSA. The company’s management team prioritizes disciplined capital allocation, ongoing site development and enhancements to its loyalty programs to support long-term growth and shareholder value.
