Super Pantry Coupons

Tri Star Marketing, Inc.—the corporation behind Super Pantry—began as the Russell Stewart Oil Company in 1947. Russell G. Stewart, a farmer from Chenoa, Illinois, started the company by selling fuel to rural and commercial customers. As the business began to grow, Russell added retail gasoline stations. To help establish the stations, they were affiliated with major oil company brands such as Texaco, Phillips 66, and eventually Gulf. When Gulf withdrew from branded marketing in Illinois, Russell and his son Dean dropped the major oil company affiliations and sold gasoline as an independent. Originally called Stewart Stations and Stewart Stores, the company's convenience stores are now known as Super Pantry. In 1989, the corporation changed its name to Tri Star Marketing, Inc. to better describe its diverse operating divisions. In 1993, the corporation entered into franchise agreements with BP and Exxon Mobil to exclusively sell their motor fuels at all Super Pantry locations. Today, with more than 500 employees and Super Pantry locations throughout Illinois and Indiana, Tri Star Marketing, Inc. continues to grow into the future.
