Cumberland Farms convenience stores across the U.S.
Certified Oil • Cumberland Farms • Fastrac • Kwik Shop • Loaf N'' Jug • Minit Mart • Quik Stop • Sprint Food Stores • Tom Thumb • Turkey Hill
Cumberland Farms is a privately owned family run business that has been around for almost sixty years with a corporate facility in Framingham, MA. We started back in the 50’s and through the years have grown to over 600 convenience stores ranging from Maine to Delaware as well as a group of stores in Florida.
In 2005, Cumberland Farms completed the acquisition of Gulf Oil LP and is now known as The Cumberland Gulf Group.
In May of 2009 Cumberland Farms and Gulf Oil moved into our new state-of-the-art business support campus in Framingham, Massachusetts. It is a beautiful, remarkable facility that will help lift both of these great companies to new heights for years to come.
It is also the culmination of an ideal we set in motion several years ago. The fact is, Cumberland Farms and Gulf Oil are sharing a whole lot more than a corporate website, office space and administrative resources.
We are also sharing a philosophy, and a vision to become the premier brands of choice forthe on-the-go world.
This commitment will, in turn, elevate these two brands to be the envy of our competitors, irreplaceable to our customers, and a point of pride to all of our employees.
