RICHLAND, Wash. (April 11, 2023) — Christensen Inc. announced its expansion into the Southwest region. The company has acquired supply contracts for branded fuel locations in the greater Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, areas from Southwest Fuel Supply, a California Fuel Supply Inc. subsidiary. This strategic acquisition marks Christensen's fuel delivery debut in this region, further strengthening its growth strategy.
Justin Christensen, vice president of retail fuels, commented, “We are extremely excited about what this opportunity means for the Christensen team, our branded fuel partners, and especially for our customers. In recent years we have developed a unique suite of services that we are pleased to offer to retailers in new geographies. We are grateful to the California Fuel Supply team and look forward to building upon the elevated level of service that has become synonymous with their name in the greater Phoenix and Tucson markets.”
With this acquisition, Christensen will begin to supply unbranded and branded fuel to gas stations in this region, featuring 76, Valero, and Mobil products. The company also provides dedicated account management and time-saving solutions through its award-winning customer portal and app. This technology received the 2022 Phillips 66 Innovation Award for enabling retailers to monitor fuel levels, manage orders and access reports.
