7-Eleven, Inc. has extended its dispenser purchasing agreement with Gilbarco Veeder-Root through December 2010.

The company will continue to purchase Gilbarco Encore dispensers, which offer the widest range of models for alternative fuels, advanced security and payment options.

"Gilbarco dispensers have been an important part of our successful interaction with customers at the fuel island," said Bill Runciman, general manager of gasoline operations at 7-Eleven. "We look forward to working with Gilbarco on new developments that further enhance our gasoline customer’s experience."

Gilbarco has been the primary supplier of fuel dispensers for 7-Eleven stores since 1972.

"7-Eleven has developed and sustained leadership status in the convenience store industry," said Richard Browne, vice president of North American marketing for Gilbarco Veeder-Root. "It continues to be an honor to support 7-Eleven as its gasoline dispenser equipment and solutions provider."
