years ago, Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) (“Global”) continues its
evolution as an industry-leading energy supplier and disruptive
retail operator. Today, the Waltham-based company launched a new
brand identity that reflects and embodies the company’s commitment
to supplying the energy people need today, while actively investing
in and promoting sustainable alternatives for the future.

“Our new brand image symbolizes a shift in our thinking—a new
mindset that positions us at the forefront of an evolving
landscape,” said Global Partners CEO Eric Slifka. “Putting our
energy to work, we will strengthen and differentiate our energy
infrastructure, create retail experiences that redefine convenience
and hospitality, and continue to be an integral part of the
communities we serve. As the energy transition continues, we will
guide our industry forward, leading thoughtfully, responsibly, and
sustainably.”
Understanding today’s persistent demand for traditional fuels,
Global Partners recently acquired 25 liquid energy terminals along
a number of major pipelines. The acquisition doubles the size of
Global’s terminal network, allowing the company to further scale
its operations, leverage existing infrastructure, and ultimately
supply more communities with essential energy products.
Simultaneously, Global is investing in the transition to
renewable energy sources through its promotion and adoption of
renewable diesel and biodiesel as clean-fuel alternatives as well
as its launch of GlobalGLO, a carbon offset program that gives
customers the flexibility to manage their carbon footprint. The
company is also providing diverse fueling options at a number of
its convenience markets, opening its first company-owned EV
fast-charging stations in Worcester, MA, and Fort Edward, NY.
But Global’s commitment to and vision for the future extends
well beyond fuels. The company is revolutionizing convenience and
hospitality. Headlined by its flagship brand, Alltown Fresh®,
Global is transforming many of its more than 400 company-operated
retail locations into experiential destinations. With a focus on
fresh, better-for-you food options, local products, cutting-edge
technology, and innovative designs, Global is disrupting
convenience by creating spaces that are dynamic and tailored to
meet the evolving needs of guests.
Global is also reimagining its real estate portfolio by
leveraging the potential of real assets, and, in doing so,
diversify its core businesses. Recently, Global partnered with a
local developer to purchase, remediate, and redevelop the former
Exxon Mobil terminal in Everett. Redevelopment plans for the
100-acre property include the construction of more than a thousand
apartment units and several million square feet of commercial,
high-tech manufacturing, R&D space, and industrial space, all
of which will likely boast a clean energy component.
At the heart of the rebrand is a commitment to the people and
relationships that make up the Global community. Over its 90+ year
history, Global has kept a steadfast commitment to philanthropy and
doing good in the communities it serves. Along with the rebrand
comes a commitment from the company to provide additional support
to employees through an employee relief fund and additional support
to its communities through its corporate sponsorship of the Global
for Good Fund charitable organization.
“This brand relaunch is a commitment to ensuring a world where
we can all grow, move, and thrive, and it is an invitation to our
partners, customers, and the communities we serve to join us in
this journey,” Slifka continued. “We are not just a company. We are
a force for good and a catalyst for positive change.”
About Global Partners’ New Brand Identity

symbolizes liquid fuels of the past, present, and future—a nod to
Global’s commitment to reliably provide the fuel people need today
while investing in a sustainable future.

Lime.

is a distillation of who the company is and what it does,
highlighting the products and services it provides, but also the
grit and determination that make up Global’s work ethic.
About Global Partners

industry-leading integrated owner, supplier, and operator of liquid
energy terminals, fueling locations, and guest-focused retail

energy terminals—with connectivity to strategic rail, pipeline, and
marine assets—spanning from Maine to Florida and into the U.S. Gulf
States. Through this extensive network, the company distributes
gasoline, distillates, residual oil, and renewable fuels to
wholesalers, retailers, and commercial customers.
With over 1,700 retail locations across 12 Northeast states, the
Mid-Atlantic and Texas, Global Partners provides the fuels people
need to keep them on the go at their unique guest-focused
convenience destinations. The company’s flagship retail brand,
Alltown Fresh, features full made-to-order kitchens, better-for-you
