  • 7-Eleven acquires Tetco
    7-Eleven, Inc. announced that it has acquired the retail and wholesale dealer assets of San Antonio -based TETCO, Inc., closing a deal that was announced Aug. 14. The assets include 163 company-operated convenience stores in Utah and the Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio areas of Texas plus fuel distribution to TETCO’s wholesale-dealers. The acquisition signals a return to San Antonio for 7-Eleven, where the company had operated stores until 1989.     Because of the combination of TETCO’s retail and wholesale operations this is 7-Eleven’s largest acquisition since the company accelerated its growth plan four years ago. As part of this purchase, 7-Eleven is acquiring TETCO’s motor fuel wholesale-dealer business with some 500 customers.  The company plans to retain and build the wholesale gasoline business as an integral part of 7-Eleven’s overall growth strategy. “The TETCO convenience store locations we are purchasing are very high quality sites,” said Stan Reynolds, 7-Eleven executive vice president and CFO.  “They not only complement areas where we currently operate, but the stores in San Antonio allow 7-Eleven to strategically expand its footprint in Texas.” 7-Eleven will remodel and rebrand the bulk of these locations over the next year.  Customers in these areas can expect more outlets for 7-Eleven’s fresh foods delivered daily, hot foods and signature products like 7-Select private brand, 7-Eleven coffee, Big Bite® hot dogs, Slurpee® and Big Gulp® drinks.
