RaceTrac Celebrates Opening of 500th Store

ATLANTA, Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- RaceTrac announced today the opening of its 500^th store marking a historic milestone. In celebration, on Wednesday, December 5, beginning at 9:00 a.m., RaceTrac will offer free medium fountain drinks to the first 500 guests at the new store, located at 1180 Virginia Ave. in Hapeville, Georgia. The 500th guest will also receive a $500 RaceTrac gift card.

"We are thrilled to reach this incredible milestone," said Billy Milam, president of RaceTrac. "In 2018, we've continued on a tremendous growth trajectory with 54 new stores opening by the end of the year. This achievement is a testament to the strength of our brand and passion to provide an exceptional store experience and guest service."

RaceTrac will drive this momentum into 2019 as it breaks ground in a new market, announcing earlier this year its intent to open at least 50 stores in the Nashville area by 2023.
