RaceTrac Opens First Location in Alabama in 15 Years Kicking-Off Reentry into Market
RaceTrac opened a new store in Gardendale, Alabama, marking the Atlanta-based chain’s reentry into the Alabama market after 15 years. The convenience store will offer Alabama residents everything they need to refuel and recharge, including customizable food and beverage options, free Wi-Fi, indoor and outdoor seating and the exceptional store experience and guest service for which the brand is known.

“We are thrilled to bring the full RaceTrac experience back to the Central and Northern Alabama region,” said Brian Thornton, RaceTrac Vice President of Construction, Real Estate, Engineering, and Special Projects. “This region is undergoing a true transformation with an influx of new residents and businesses that provide an exciting opportunity for all involved. We believe the region’s population and business growth, specifically in the technology, aerospace, and auto-manufacturing sectors, provide a foundation for continued growth for many years to come across the state.”

RaceTrac has been bringing this Whatever Gets You Going style of convenience to guests since 1934, and this expansion into Alabama deepens its roots in the Southeastern region. The company will be building a number of other stores throughout Alabama, including other locations already in the permitting phase in the Irondale, Alabaster, Gadsden, Huntsville, and Muscle Shoals areas. The next store, in Oxford, will open in March 2021.
