The company will add E85 and 88 Octane products to more stores in the future.
High’s convenience store will offer lower emissions E85 Flex Fuel and 88 Octane at their location in Jessup, Maryland.
Flex fuel vehicles, which use E85, make up approximately 10% of the cars in Maryland.
This marks the company’s first step in an effort to give customers a larger variety of fuel options more value at the pump.
“After discussing the potential and the rapidly increasing demand from our customers with Protec Fuel, this was a simple decision,” said High’s Vice President of Business Development Ben Phelps. “We are continuously listening to feedback from our customers. Our goal is to grow and efficiently meet our customers’ wants.”
High’s plans to add E85 and 88 Octane products to more stores in the future.
Founded in 1928 as ice-cream store chain, High’s has since grew rapidly throughout the mid-Atlantic states. At one time, there were more than 500 locations, making High’s the largest ice-cream store chain in the world.
In 2012, Carroll Independent Fuel Company acquired High’s and began to build off its strong heritage. Today, High’s operates 48 c-stores and employs 500 people.
