Company Description
ARKO Petroleum Corp. is a Nasdaq-listed fuel distribution company that supplies motor fuel through wholesale, fleet fueling and related-party retail-site distribution channels. The company trades under the symbol APC and became a public company through an initial public offering of Class A common stock completed in February 2026. ARKO Corp., a public convenience-store operator, is APC's parent company and controlling stockholder.
The company's operating model is built around the purchase and distribution of fuel to third-party dealers, commercial and municipal fleet customers, and retail convenience-store sites operated by ARKO Corp. Company materials describe APC as one of the largest wholesale fuel distributors by gallons in North America, supplying approximately 2 billion gallons annually to customers in about 3,500 locations across the District of Columbia and more than 30 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern United States.
Business segments
APC reports three principal business areas. The Wholesale segment supplies fuel to gas stations operated by third-party dealers, sub-wholesalers and bulk purchasers. The segment typically distributes fuel under long-term cost-plus or consignment arrangements and represents the company's largest revenue source in the available company description.
The Fleet Fueling segment operates proprietary and third-party cardlock locations, which are unstaffed fueling sites used by commercial and municipal fleets. This business also includes proprietary fuel cards that give fleet customers access to a nationwide network of fueling locations, with the company earning commissions from proprietary fuel-card sales.
The GPMP segment supplies fuel to substantially all retail convenience stores that sell fuel and are operated by ARKO Corp. The segment supplies those ARKO Retail Sites at cost plus a fixed margin and charges fixed fees to certain sites. This structure ties APC's fuel distribution operations to ARKO Corp.'s convenience-store network while keeping APC organized as a separately listed fuel distribution company.
Public-company structure
APC is organized as a Delaware corporation. Its public-company filings and news releases identify Class A common stock listed on Nasdaq under the symbol APC and Class B common stock held by ARKO Parent following the IPO. The company's public disclosures also describe intercompany agreements with ARKO Corp. and related subsidiaries, including management services, omnibus, employee and intercompany matters, fuel distribution, tax matters and registration rights agreements.
