QuickPix Convenience Stores Expands Brand Into Southeast Indiana

RUSHVILLE, Ind. — One Indiana convenience store chain is making moves for brand expansion in the state.

QuickPix parent company Herdrich Petroleum Corp. (HPC) purchased four retail sites from Milan, Ind.-based Kelly Oil, which will allow the company to expand its market presence into southeastern Indiana, reported WRBI Radio.

The deal includes c-store and gas station locations in Dearborn and Ripley counties.

"We are excited to acquire these stores and build upon the great work Kelly Oil has done with the sites over the years. It is our intent to maintain the very competitive fuel pricing structure Kelly has become known for while investing and enhancing the convenience store offering," HPC said in a statement.

"We’re grateful to the Kelly Oil team for making this a smooth transition and looking forward to being introduced to a very loyal customer base and becoming part of the community," it added.

Herdrich Petroleum Corp. was established in Connersville, Ind., in 1953. The family-owned and -operated company operates 24 QuickPix c-stores in central and southeastern Indiana and employs more than 250 people.
