    Issue Date: CSP Daily News, February 12, 2009 BP's ampm Climbs Charts Brand rises on list of Entrepreneur's "Fastest-Growing Franchises" LA PALMA, Calif. -- Entrepreneur magazine is recognizing ampm's growth by ranking the convenience store brand at No. 57 on its list of "Fastest-Growing Franchises." That is a jump of almost 20 positions from last year. BP's ampm is the only c- store to move up the magazine's list, the company said. And ampm is the only c-store brand owned by an integrated oil and gas company to make the list. Dallas-based retailer 7-Eleven ranked No. 73 on the magazine's list. Birmingham, Ala.-based c-store chicken brand Chester's International was No. 95 on the list. Besides its No. 57 ranking, ampm kept its slot at No. 35 on Entrepreneur's "2009 Franchise 500" list Other retailers included Laval, Quebec-based Circle K at No. 9 and 7-Eleven at No. 30; Richmond, Va.-based c-store pizza brand Hot Stuff Foods placed at No. 81. Ampm also ranked No. 30 on the magazines list of America's top 200 global franchises. Circle K placed at No. 9 and Chester's ranked No. 63 on that list. Andrew Baird, ampm's vice president of marketing, said why ampm is rising in the rankings of franchise lists: "We've been offering hot food and quality gasoline since 1978. Over the years, we have developed and refined that offer, focusing on what the customer wants, doing it day and day out, and doing it in a fun way that the customer really gets." Entrepreneur magazine's rankings of the fastest-growing franchises appear in the magazine's February 2009 issue.
