This transition is part of ExtraMile's strategic expansion in the U.S. Southeast. The conversion process is expected to begin in early 2026 and be completed by 2027. ExtraMile, a joint venture between Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and Jacksons Food Stores, aims to enhance the store environment and product offerings through this rebranding effort. Moore Oil, a long-standing fuel marketer in Alabama, will continue to supply top-tier gasoline and diesel fuel to its customers.

U.S. market. This rebranding effort is expected to improve customer experience by offering enhanced store environments and product selections. For Moore Oil, aligning with ExtraMile could provide competitive advantages through increased brand recognition and customer loyalty. The expansion also reflects broader trends in the convenience store industry, where companies are focusing on brand differentiation and enhanced customer service to drive growth.
What's Next?
