Global Partners LP is an energy supply and logistics company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Its origins trace back to 1933, when Abraham Slifka started a heating-oil delivery business in Boston that later evolved into today’s integrated operator.
The company operates an extensive U.S. footprint built around moving and supplying liquid fuels, anchored by a large terminal network that stretches from Maine to Florida and into the Gulf states. Its model connects sourcing and transportation with downstream distribution so customers can rely on a single, coordinated supply chain.
Global organizes its operations through five businesses—Commercial, Wholesale, Retail, Terminals, and Real Estate Ventures—designed to work together. Through these segments, it supplies fuel to commercial and government accounts, supports resale customers via terminal access, and operates terminaling services and storage across its network.
On the consumer side, Global runs a sizable retail market portfolio and emphasizes convenience-forward experiences paired with fueling. Within that retail portfolio, it highlights its homegrown brands Alltown® and Alltown Fresh® as flagships for guest service and fresh, higher-touch convenience concepts.
Global’s growth approach centers on strengthening the integrated model—expanding and optimizing how terminals, wholesale supply, and retail sites support one another—while also using real estate development to maximize the value and utility of strategically located properties.
