RaceTrac Slates Indiana Debut

INDIANAPOLIS — RaceTrac Inc. is putting the finishing touches on the company's first Indiana convenience store as it nears a mid-December opening. 

Located at the northeast corner of Interstate 465 at 7612 Pendleton Pike in Indianapolis, the new store will serve the needs of the area's small- to mid-size fleet drivers and construction vehicles with an expanded diesel offering. 

A second Indiana RaceTrac location is expected to open late spring, near Interstate 70 and West Morris Street. 

"We have put a great deal of thought and research into the selection of this new location, based on its proximity to the Indianapolis metro area," said Justen Giambalvo, vice president of construction, engineering and special projects at RaceTrac. "As we expand our locations in the state of Indiana, we hope to meet the demand for clean and convenient facilities for fleet drivers and commuters alike as they fuel up and get whatever they need to get them going."
