EG America takes over 9 Neon Marketplace c-stores in the Northeast

EG America has acquired nine leasehold convenience stores in the Northeast for an undisclosed amount, the company announced this week in its earnings update.
A company spokesperson was unable to share which states and cities these stores are located in or who the landowner is for each site. However, a report by WPRI confirmed that they're under the Neon Marketplace banner and located across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. EG America said in its earnings update it will rebrand these sites to its Cumberland Farms banner.
EG America has been on a selling spree for the past few years, but this small-scale purchase may indicate the retailer is ready to refocus on acquisitions.
EG America, which has about 1,500 c-stores across 30 states, sold over 150 convenience stores and executed sale-leaseback deals for hundreds of others between early 2023 and late 2024 to help its parent company, EG Group, pay down debt. Last December, EG Group said a significant chunk of its debt had been paid.
EG America's latest nine-store acquisition, which occurred earlier in May, marks the first of what could be many purchases now that its debt load has eased.
In an interview with C-Store Dive last month, former CEO John Carey said the company was looking to grow inorganically, especially on the East Coast, where it operates in Connecticut, Maine, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and its home state of Massachusetts.
The retailer's latest deal signals that it intends to grow the Cumberland Farms banner. Carey — who has since been replaced by EG Group CEO Russell Colaco — said last month that EG America wanted to prioritize rebranding more c-stores to Cumberland Farms, continuing an initiative that began in early 2022.
With nearly 600 locations, Cumberland Farms is EG America's largest chain, but the retailer has nine others, including TurkeyHill, QuikStop, Loaf'N Jug and TomThumb.
'It means we want to have one offer… What we haven't done a good job of is pulling the best from [all of our brands] and creating it,' Carey said last month in reference to unifying EG America under the Cumberland Farms banner.

Massachusetts Governor demands answers after ICE arrests Milford High School student
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey took to social media Sunday evening to demand answers after ICE agents arrested a high school student heading to volleyball practice over the weekend. The student, 18-year-old Marcelo Gomes, is a junior at Milford High School in Milford, Massachusetts. In her post, Healey says she is "disturbed and outraged" and that she wants answers immediately explaining why the student was taken into immigration enforcement's custody. "I'm demanding that ICE provide immediate information about why he was arrested, where he is and how his due process is being protected," she s. In the post she blames the Trump admin for what she describes as an attempt to create fear. "The Trump Administration continues to create fear in our communities, and it's making us all less safe," her post states. In her statement, Healey claims that the student was detained on Saturday without any warning or subsequent explanation provided to state officials. "Yet again, local officials and law enforcement have been left in the dark with no heads up and no answers to their questions," she said. The community gathered to protest outside of Milford on Sunday. Hundreds demanded Gomes be set free and that ICE stop harassing members of their community. U.S. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, a Democrat who represents Milford in Congress, attended the protest and made note on X that Gomes was "enrolled in honors classes, a coaching assistant for girls volleyball [and] player for boys volleyball, and a member of the school band." "This administration has its public safety priorities backwards. It pardons cop-beaters from Jan. 6 but detains high-school volleyball players. It makes gun-purchaser background checks harder while pushing for tax breaks to buy silencers for pistols. This reckless behavior does not make the residents of Milford safer, and I stand with the community in support of law [and] order," he wrote. Milford School District Superintendent Kevin McIntyre says that Gomes' detention is one of many apprehensions to take place in the southern Massachusetts community. McIntyre says the district cannot take any role in immigration enforcement, but they will "support all of our students and families, including those who are immigrants to the United States." "They are members of the community, students in our classrooms, athletes that compete representing Milford, musicians, artists, friends, and neighbors. We will do everything in our power to support our students and families during these difficult times," he said in his statement. Sunday morning was Milford High School's graduation and Healey says a day of celebration has now been tarnished. "My heart goes out to the Milford community on what was supposed to be a celebratory graduation day," she said.
