Dallas-based distribution giant Fleming has signed a supply deal with Shipley Stores, a convenience-store operator of the 34 store chain operating under the name of Tom’s convenience stores and Cigarette Cellars.
The stores operate in Central and Eastern Pennsylvania. The stores will be supplied by Fleming’s convenience-store distribution center in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
“We take great pride in Shipley Stores choosing Fleming to service its distribution needs,” said Michael Klein, president, Altoona division. “We look forward to supporting Shipley Stores’ success by providing the right products at the right price and at the right time.”
“Fleming’s strong distribution expertise and in-store assistance, in areas such as planograms and merchandising will support our operation’s goals,” said Bret Hoffmaster, president of Shipley Stores. “Fleming offered us a solution that focused their size and scale as a national convenience-store distributor on providing us efficiencies in merchandising and distribution.”
