FINDLAY, Ohio – December 11, 2024 – RaceTrac today announced the opening of its first convenience store in Ohio. Located in the booming I-75 & CR 99 corridor in Findlay, this new, 8,100-square-foot travel center provides everything needed to refuel and recharge for the nearly 75,000 professional drivers, commuters, residents and travelers that pass through the area daily.
“RaceTrac’s first store in Ohio is a significant milestone for our growing company,” said Melanie Isbill, chief brand officer at RaceTrac. “This strategic decision allows us to showcase our commitment to exceptional service, quality products and community engagement in a new market. The region's vibrant economy and welcoming communities present a tremendous opportunity for our innovative approach and dedication to delivering convenience that we trust will resonate well with Ohioans.”
The grand opening celebration will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony with local community officials and law enforcement partners. RaceTrac’s first 100 guests will receive a free $25 gift card and free product samples will be available throughout the day. RaceTrac will also present $2,500 checks to both the Findlay High School Marching Band and Findlay Fraternal Order of Police.
