“We are excited about bringing such a high quality convenience store portfolio and talented and loyal group of employees into the United Pacific family. The addition of the Macland stores also expands our retail presence in Southern California, which remains a core growth area for United Pacific,” said Joe Juliano, President and CEO of United Pacific.
