RaceTrac, one of the nation’s largest convenience retailers, has opened its first North Carolina store, at 4060 W. Highway 74 in Monroe. The grand opening celebration included gift card giveaways, samples from popular brands, and a tuition donation to four students at South Piedmont Community College.
The new Monroe store, along the busy U.S. Route 74 corridor connecting to Charlotte, represents a significant milestone in the company’s growth strategy and follows recent new market entries into Indiana, Ohio and South Carolina. This expansion brings RaceTrac’s signature “Whatever Gets You Going” convenience experience to North Carolina residents for the first time and adds approximately 30 new jobs to the Monroe community.
For more than 90 years, RaceTrac has operated under the mission of making people’s lives simpler and more enjoyable. An integral part of the daily routines of millions across the Southeast, RaceTrac locations serve as one-stop shops for quality and convenience on the go.
Inside, guests will find a wide variety of made-in-store food and beverage options. These include grab and go hot pizza, chicken tenders, sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit cups and a Swirl World frozen yogurt bar with a wide array of toppings. Coffee lovers can choose from six blends of RaceTrac’s “Crazy Good Coffee” with all the fixings.
A spacious, well-lit front court offers guests a variety of competitively priced fuel options. The new location also serves professional drivers and construction vehicles with a spacious rear canopy, including lanes of high-flow diesel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) options at the pump.
