“The Coffee Cup Fuel Stops are well-suited for the TA Express brand, and we’ve significantly grown our presence in the northern U.S. through the agreement with Heinz, Inc.,” said Barry Richards, president and COO of TA. “We’re look forward to continuing our growth with the Coffee Cup team and be able to serve even more customers.”
TA and Heinz Inc. signed an agreement in February to convert four Coffee Cup Fuel Stops to TA Express sites in 12 months. The first opened in April in Steele, N.D., a second opened in September in Hot Springs, S.D., and the fourth is planned for early next year in Vermillion, S.D.
