ExtraMile convenience stores opens 1,000th site

The opening represents the first location in the Southeastern United States.

ExtraMile Convenience Stores LLC (EMCS), a joint venture between Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and Jacksons Food Stores, celebrated the opening of its 1,000th store at the Texaco station in Vernon, Alabama. It’s the first ExtraMile location in the Southeastern United States. The milestone underpins EMCS’ growth strategy to double the number of ExtraMile sites nationwide by 2027 over sites open in 2017. 

“Achieving it just a few short years later – including safely navigating a global pandemic – is testament to our people and partners. Thanks to them, our network now comprises 1,000 locations and counting with more consumers enjoying our world-class C-store experience, product offerings and service,” said Paul Casadont, president of EMCS.

Customers can visit the newest ExtraMile store at the Texaco station on First Avenue SE in Vernon. It is owned by MIDTSTATES Petroleum, a 15-year Chevron fuel marketer with 46 employees that supplies more than 200 convenience stores.

As part of the Dec. 18 celebration, Mayers plans to give away more than $20,000 in gasoline, merchandise and prizes. “Santa Claus is set to make an appearance,” said Paul, “UFC fighters and University of Alabama basketball players will be on hand to sign autographs, and customers can sample ExtraMile’s renowned MileOne coffee and foods. It’s going to be a great time.
