Mid-Atlantic retailer Royal Farms has announced the planned grand opening of its 300th location in Millersville, Md.
In honor of the opening, the company is helping local students kick off the school year with a donation of 300 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to The Preston Mitchum, Jr. (PMJ) Foundation’s annual “Back-to-School Drive.”
The PMJ Foundation focuses on providing critical resources to shelters for individuals and families in need. Through Royal Farms’ generous donation, the foundation was able to supply nearly 3,000 backpacks to school-aged children, ensuring they have the supplies and clothing necessary to thrive in the classroom.
Through The Years
Royal Farms was established in 1959 as a subsidiary of Cloverland Dairy, a family-owned business with deep roots in the dairy industry.
Throughout its history, Royal Farms has been dedicated to innovation. From introducing self-service gasoline stations in the 1980s to expanding its food offerings to include freshly brewed coffee dispensed from state-of-the art Swiss coffee machines, made-to-order subs and signature sides, the company has consistently adapted to meet the changing needs of its customers.
The opening of the 300th Royal Farms store in Millersville is a testament to the company’s enduring legacy and its vision for the future.
Today, the chain has locations in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina. Most locations are open 24 hours, 365 days a year to service all fuel, food, and convenience needs.
