H&S Energy Products LLC

While not reflected in this year's store count, H&S Energy LLC doubled its convenience-store network as of March 2024, when it announced its acquisition of the retail convenience-store, fuels distribution, cardlock, fleet card, commercial fueling, car wash, lubricants and transportation businesses of Andretti Petroleum Group.

The Eureka, California-based Andretti had 170 retail convenience stores and fuels distribution assets in California, Oregon and Washington. It is one of the largest convenience retail and fuels distribution businesses on the West Coast and Pacific Northwest, operating in northern California, Oregon and Washington. It was founded in 1997 when racing icons Mario Andretti, Michael Andretti, long-time Andretti advisor John Caponigro and Texaco executive M.J. Castelo launched a startup Texaco wholesale business in northern California.

H&S Energy Group was established in 1996 by Sal Hassan, with the inaugural station being a ground-up construction in Cypress, California. Since then, the company has expanded its footprint both organically by building new sites and through acquisitions. H&S Energy represents major fuel brands such as Chevron, Texaco, Shell and 76. Additionally, it operates as a franchisee of ExtraMile, with most of its convenience stores featuring the proprietary Power Market brand. The stores under the H&S Energy umbrella offer a diverse range of options for customers, including deli kitchens, fresh produce, hot food, bean-to-cup coffee, car wash services and service stations. Moreover, the company boasts an extensive wholesale network, facilitated by its transportation arm, Arrow Logistics, through which it supplies customers with branded fuel and other products.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are as of Jan. 1, 2024.
