I always did like their slurpies, but they don't have 'em in hell, Hugo.
7-11 Stores are ending their 20-year supply agreement with CITGO Petroleum Corp.
...the contract ends next week and 7-11 is now making the switch to its own branded gasoline. The company says the change has nothing to do with derogatory comments made last week by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez at the United Nations. Nevertheless, 7/11 Stores will begin selling in October gas provided by US companies, such as Tower Energy Group in Torrance, CA., Sinclair Oil of Salt Lake City and Frontier Oil Corp of Houston.
This is strike two for citgo in as many months. Back in August, Susser Holdings Corp. severed ties with citgo and awarded contracts to Texas based Valero Energy Corp.
Words mean things.
