RED E and ARKO Corp. Subsidiary GPM Investments Expand EV Charging Across Convenience Store Portfolio
Detroit, MI – May 13, 2026 – As electrification reshapes the future of convenience retail, multi-brand operators are prioritizing infrastructure that performs consistently across varied markets and operating models. That focus defines RED E’s ongoing work with GPM Investments, LLC, one of the nation’s largest convenience store operators.
Working across GPM’s portfolio of regional convenience store brands, RED E has supported the deployment of EV charging infrastructure at multiple retail sites, integrating charging directly into active, high-traffic environments. Rolling out infrastructure across a diversified convenience store footprint requires disciplined coordination, site-specific planning, and sustained operational oversight. RED E provides comprehensive charging network management — including infrastructure strategy, deployment execution, software integration, payment systems, and uptime optimization — ensuring reliable performance across the portfolio.
“From day one, our mission has been to make charging as seamless as refueling. GPM chose RED E for our performance-driven approach and ability to integrate EV infrastructure with the same operational discipline as their business. We’re proud to support their electrification strategy and build on that momentum together.”
— Abass El-Hage, CEO, RED E
“Rolling out EV charging across a portfolio like ours isn’t simple — every site has different needs, different markets, and different operational considerations. RED E has been a strong partner throughout that process. Their analytics, software, and ongoing support have helped us bring multiple projects online while ensuring the infrastructure performs the way our customers expect.”
— Chris Giacobone, COO, GPM Investments, LLC
This alignment reflects a shared understanding that electrification within convenience retail must be executed deliberately, integrated thoughtfully, and managed for long-term performance.
