Partnership diversifies fuel offerings and strengthens co-branding for fuel and convenience retail operations.

July 10, 2015

TOMBALL, Texas – CST Brands Inc. has announced a new branding agreement with Phillips 66, adding the brand to Corner Store’s diversifying fuel offerings. The agreement also gives Corner Store the ability to share branding space on the fuel canopy in order to gain increased street-level visibility for its popular Corner Store brand.

“We are very excited to announce this new opportunity to partner with Phillips 66,” said Kim Lubel, president and CEO of CST Brands Inc., the parent company of Corner Store, at this week’s opening of a new Corner Store in Tomball, Texas, offering Phillips 66 fuel. “This has been a very good experience and we look forward to working with Phillips 66 as we continue to grow.”

CST Brands is planning to build additional Phillips 66 sites this year. After spinning off of Valero in 2013, CST Brands added Shell fuel to its offerings in early 2015 with the acquisition of 22 former Timewise stores in San Antonio and Austin. The partnership with Phillips 66 features a dual-branded fuel canopy, which brings increased attention and traffic to both the fuel and inside store offerings.

“We are excited about the opportunity to link the Phillips 66 fuel brand with a strong retail operator such as Corner Store,” said Mike Krampf, manager of branded sales for Phillips 66. “We look forward to additional opportunities to strengthen our branded presence in the Houston market and beyond with CST.”
