Spirit® is a petroleum brand managed by marketers and owned by the non-profit Petroleum Marketers Association of America (PMAA). This unique arrangement ensures that all decisions are made with the best interest of marketers first and foremost. Spirit® provides petroleum marketers a national, quality image with flexible requirements and fair branding costs.

Spirit was created to present a positive alternative to qualifying members of the PMAA’s 45 state associations. Major brand availability continues to diminish as refiner-suppliers merge and consolidate. Costly imaging requirements and binding contracts often limit financial success.  By keeping branding costs to a minimum, Spirit offers marketers of all sizes an opportunity to aggressively compete in the marketplace.

Spirit is embraced by marketers nationwide with licensed sites in states from coast-to-coast, including Alaska and Hawaii. More than half of the licensees have branded multiple locations, a firm testimony that the industry values this new, competitive Spirit.  Visit the Spirit website at www.SpiritPetroleum.com

The Coalition for Responsible Tobacco Retailing is committed to helping retailers enforce minimum age laws for the purchase of tobacco products.  What began as a small training and education program in a few states has blossomed into a nationwide training effort for retailers.  We Card has held over 2,000 classroom training sessions in all 50 states in the U.S. and U.S. territories. Over 100,000 owners, managers, and frontline employees have been trained, and over 1 million We Card kits have been distributed to retailers nationwide.
