“The Marathon Brand is increasingly becoming the brand choice for many other branded sites. In fact, since 2004, we have converted more than 750 sites to the Marathon brand from other brands across all of our markets. Most cite the fact that we are a customer-focused, full-service brand with an outstanding supply infrastructure as the main reasons for their decision to change brands. More Marathon sites is a good thing for everyone in the network and makes the Marathon Brand even stronger.”
