Frank's Sunoco has recently joined as a member of Growth Energy Market Development team. The fueling station and food mart is located at 5391 State Road in Parma, Ohio. One of the first leaders in the Biofuels movement, Frank's Sunoco offers E85, B20, regular and unleaded gasoline.
Frank's Sunoco first opened in 1952, operated by Frank Roalofs until 1960 when it became a family business and his son Matthew joined him. Matthew took over the business in 1980 and in the 90's converted the store into a Food Mart.
As gas priced rocketed Matthew wanted a competitive advantage that would set him away from his competitors. "I chose E85 because it burns and runs cleaner, it's good for the environment and it's going to be the future."
According to Matthew, the biggest challenge he finds as a retailer is buying at the right price so that he may sell at the right price.
Matthew has taken advantage of resources from Growth Energy, such as brochures, labels, etc. He also put together a consumer website; as well as advertised a grand opening on a local radio station that attracted many from the suburbs.
Growth Energy appreciates the membership support provided by Frank Sunoco and we applaud them for their very proactive efforts to advance high level blends of ethanol.
