VP Racing Fuels, recognized worldwide as the leader in performance fuel products and innovative retail, announced the opening of its first gas station in Maryland, marking a significant milestone in the company’s expansion efforts. The new station, located in Hagerstown, Maryland, is the result of a strategic collaboration with Shipley Energy, a trusted provider of energy services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
The licensed agreement between VP Racing and Shipley Energy will bring high-performance fuel options to automotive enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. This Maryland location will offer a variety of VP Racing’s renowned fuels, including specialty blends designed for high-performance vehicles and traditional fuel options for standard vehicles.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Shipley Energy to bring our first VP Racing retail location to Maryland,” said Nick Benis, Northeast Sales Manager—Branded Retail for VP Racing. “Our licensed agreement with Shipley Energy allows us to leverage their extensive experience in energy distribution to ensure our customers receive the highest quality fuels and services.”
The new station will offer customers premium fuel options and feature VP Racing’s full range of automotive products, including motor oils, additives and performance chemicals. The station is designed with convenience in mind, offering a modern, user-friendly experience that includes a well-stocked convenience store, made-to-order food options, and a clean, welcoming environment. With this and its eight previously opened VP stations in Pennsylvania, Shipley Energy, known for its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, sees this partnership as a natural extension of its service offerings.
“We are excited to continue partnering with VP Racing Fuels, bringing on additional locations in the Northeast Region,” said Joshua Rode, General Manager at Shipley Fuels Marketing. “We share a commitment to quality and performance, and we’re excited to bring VP Racing to our customers in Maryland.”
“The decision to brand the location with VP Racing was easy,” said dealer Furrukh Jamil Malik. “My goal was to introduce something new and unique that isn’t currently available in the state of Maryland. After careful consideration, I chose the VP Racing brand due to its reputation as a high-performance fuel that remains competitively priced.”
The opening of this location is part of VP Racing Fuels’ broader strategy to expand its retail presence across the United States. The company plans to continue licensing established energy providers like Shipley Fuels Marketing to bring its retail branding program to new markets.
The new VP Racing Fuels gas station in Hagerstown, Maryland, is now open to the public, providing a one-stop shop for fuel, automotive products, and convenience items.
