Marathon Petroleum's Speedway closes on Hess deal

Completes $2.82B purchase of retail operations, other assets

FINDLAY — Speedway LLC, a subsidiary of Findlay-based Marathon Petroleum, has completed its $2.82 billion purchase of Hess’ retail operations and other assets.

The deal was announced in May.

Hess is the largest chain of company-operated gas stations and convenience stores on the East Coast. In May, the companies said that Hess gas stations will all be rebranded as Speedway over three years.

"This transformative acquisition provides Speedway a significant growth platform by expanding our retail presence to 23 states throughout the East Coast and Southeast," said Gary Heminger, Marathon Petroleum’s president and chief executive officer.
