Providing distribution services in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado including company owned and operated c-stores, Hallum represents significant expansion potential for VP’s program in the southwest U.S.
“Hallum Fuel Distributing is excited about teaming up with VP Racing Fuels to offer our customers an impressive brand image with built-in savings, flexibility and additional profit centers,” said Paul Dumas, Marketing Rep for Hallum. “We are confident this program will help us reach more customers and give us a competitive advantage.”
“We’re proud to welcome Hallum Fuel Distributing to our growing family of VP distributors,” said Alan Cerwick, President of VP Racing Fuels. “Acceptance of the VP brand by Steve Hallum and his team of veterans proves the need for alternative branding solutions in an ever changing and competitive nationwide fuel market.
