MAPCO CEO Frederic Chaveyriat and Pelham Mayor Gary Waters cut the official ribbon alongside community leaders, MAPCO executives and Pelham locals to celebrate the opening of MAPCO’s newest store location.
MAPCO celebrated the opening of a new convenience store at 3000 Pelham Parkway, and the chain’s first location in Pelham, Ala., with an official ribbon-cutting on April 18.
The new 5,500 square-foot store is designed to offer a ‘Better Break’ for guests with MAPCO’s new ‘Store of the Future’ design, featuring an efficient layout and modern details.
