Sunoco and McLane expect growth and expansion.

Sunoco APlus has renewed its multi-year service agreement with McLane Co. Inc.  Sunoco APlus is a chain of more than 430 corporate stores and 237 franchise locations, and operates stores in 14 states. The company has been a McLane customer since 1992.

Sunoco is extending its agreement with McLane as the chain continues to focus on frequency, commissary distribution and its overall foodservice offering.

“A main driver in continuing our relationship with McLane is our shared commitment to work hand in hand to provide a growing assortment of fresh foods to our customers.  We are very impressed by the flexibility and capability McLane has shown in helping us to enhance our product assortment and increase our ability to deliver fresh foods to our stores,” said Cynthia Archer, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Sunoco. “Together with McLane, we will be able to build on our strong fresh program across our APlus chain, all while continuing to count on McLane for innovation, outstanding service levels and excellent overall performance.”

“Everyone at McLane is proud to continue our relationship with Sunoco as they consistently create a quality experience for their customers,” said Tony Frankenberger, president of McLane Grocery. “Sunoco is committed to providing the consumer with foodservice choices and truly fresh items, and McLane is dedicated to supporting those categories. We look forward to working with Sunoco to help grow and expand the business of both companies to meet these needs.”
