EG Group Convenience Stores and DAV Partner to Help Change the Lives of Veterans Source: DAV (Disabled American Veterans) June 24, 2020 07:00 ET EG Group Convenience Stores and DAV Partner to Help Change the Lives of Veterans WESTBOROUGH, MASS., June 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This summer, EG America and the 1,682 convenience stores it operates will launch a national campaign to raise funds for DAV (Disabled American Veterans). EG donations will help DAV ensure that injured and ill veterans can access the full range of benefits available to them. The convenience stores participating in the promotion include Cumberland Farms, Certified Oil, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf ‘N Jug, Minit Mart, Quik Stop, Tom Thumb and Turkey Hill. Their goal is to raise over $250,000 for DAV, an organization that changes the lives of more than one million veterans, of all eras, every year. Beginning June 24 and through the month of July, store employees will ask customers to donate an amount of their choosing to DAV during checkout. During the campaign, the stores will offer a free cup of coffee to service members and veterans as a “thank you” for their sacrifices. “We know many of our team members and guests are veterans and believe it is important to recognize and give back to those who have served our country,” said George Fournier, President of EG America. “Partnering with DAV gives our store teams a collective purpose and allows them to connect with the communities where they live and work in a meaningful way.” “Last year, EG America shattered its goal during a wildly successful campaign to raise funds directly supporting the vital programs we provide to the men and women who served,” said DAV CEO Marc Burgess. “I can’t thank EG America enough for continuing to support DAV in this upcoming promotion, which showcases their compassion, graciousness and genuine reverence for America’s ill and injured veterans at this particularly challenging time for our nation.” About EG Group: Founded in 2001 by the Issa family, United Kingdom based EG Group is a leading petrol forecourt retail convenience operator who has established partnerships with global brands such as ESSO, BP, Shell, Carrefour, Louis Delhaize, SPAR, Starbucks, Burger King, KFC, Greggs and Subway.

DAV does this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill; providing employment resources to veterans and their families and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.

  • EG Group Owners in Lead Position to Buy $8.4Bn Asda
    UK: EG Group owners in lead position to buy $8.4bn Asda Billionaire owners of international forecourt operator EG Group have stunned the markets by moving into pole position to buy supermarket chain Asda. Mohsin Issa and his brother Zuber are leading the race to acquire British supermarket business Asda, valued at £6.5 billion ($8.4bn), on the back of building an international fuel and convenience empire with Euro Garages Group. Sky News has reported that the two brothers from Blackburn (UK), and TDR Capital, the London-based private equity backer of EG Group, have been selected by Walmart as the frontrunners to take over Asda. If the bid backed by the Issa brothers and TDR is successful it will see Asda, which operates more than 600 stores in the UK, return to British hands for the first time since 1999. Initial reports had private equity firm Apollo Global Management as the leading option to buy Asda. A key part of the operation that has put the Issa brothers and TDR in pole position is the possibility of expanding the supermarket business in their petrol station network. Just a week ago, Asda announced it would be trialling a new convenience store concept at the tree EG Group stations. With acquisition after acquisition, EG Group has built an empire since its formation in 2016 and now employs 50,000 people across almost 6,000 sites in the UK, U.S., Europe and Australia. U.S. retailing giant Walmart has been looking to offload parts of its British business to focus on defending its position against Amazon and explore other opportunities in more attractive markets like India.
