"T
he Leader in Fresh."
It's a bold title claimed by South
San Francisco, California-based
distributor Core-Mark International Inc. But
after 130 years in business, the company can
confidently say it's backed up its words with
actions.
Core-Mark has 32 distribution centers and
employs about 8,500 people, the kinds of
numbers you need if you're supplying roughly 45,000 customers in the convenience store
and other channels. The company delivers
about 108 million cubic feet of products annually, and its 2017 sales were expected to
exceed $15.6 billion.
Those numbers should only grow, says Jon
Bratta, vice president of marketing. "CoreMark has more than doubled its revenues
since 2010, and we continue to forecast
strong growth in the coming years."
About 75 percent of the stores Core-Mark
supplies today are c-stores, Bratta says.
Other customers include drugstores, grocery stores, airports, schools, corporate
campuses, movie theaters, camps and other
retailers.
The company has come a long way from its
beginnings, in 1888, as Glaser Bros., a tobacco store in San Francisco. Core-Mark is
now one of the largest distributors and marketers of consumer goods in North America.
CORE-MARK SUPPLIES 45,000 CUSTOMERS IN C-STORE
AND OTHER CHANNELS.
