<strong>Valero</strong> Retail<br />
Joined <strong>Valero</strong> in 2000<br />
The purchase of the Benicia Refinery in 2000 added a new pillar to <strong>Valero</strong>’s refining platform — Retail. Specifically, 80 companyowned<br />
stores and a 270-store distribution chain. From there, <strong>Valero</strong>’s retail venture exploded in 2001 with its acquisition of<br />
Ultramar Diamond Shamrock. Approximately 5,000 retail outlets in the U.S. and Canada were added to the fold and prompted<br />
an international rebranding effort in 2005. Today, the company owns nearly 1,000 <strong>Valero</strong> Corner Stores, and manages a branded<br />
wholesale network of about 4,800 outlets in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean under the <strong>Valero</strong>, Diamond Shamrock, Shamrock,<br />
Ultramar and Beacon brands.<br />
