About Core-Mark Holding Company, LLC

Core-Mark Holding Company, LLC is a reference player in the distribution of consumer goods to the convenience retail channel in the United States. The business was historically listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker CORE before being acquired by Performance Food Group in 2021. Today, Core-Mark operates as a brand and business unit within Performance Food Group, with its corporate headquarters in Westlake, Texas, United States, and a broad North American logistics footprint. Core-Mark describes itself as one of the largest marketers of consumer goods to convenience stores, with a strong position in fresh food, broadline supply solutions, and store-execution technology. ([core-mark.com](https://www.core-mark.com/?utm_source=openai)) Founded in 1888, Core-Mark has more than a century of experience serving small-format retailers. Its core business is to supply convenience stores and other small-format outlets with a comprehensive assortment that includes fresh and perishable foods, snacks, beverages, confectionery, grocery items, non-food products, and merchandising support. The company also emphasizes foodservice programs, grab-and-go concepts, planogram technology, and analytics-driven tools designed to help retailers improve traffic, basket size, and in-store execution. ([core-mark.com](https://www.core-mark.com/About/About-Us?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Core-Mark’s key strengths are scale, distribution density, and specialized know-how in the convenience channel. The company says it serves more than 50,000 retail locations across the United States and Canada through roughly 45 distribution centers and 6 redistribution centers, giving it strong geographic reach and the ability to offer a wide and differentiated product mix. This network supports service levels, freshness, and delivery frequency, all of which are critical in the convenience-store supply chain. As a result, Core-Mark remains a strategically important partner for both national chains and independent operators. ([core-mark.com](https://core-mark.com/About/About-Us?utm_source=openai)) The most important recent development was Performance Food Group’s acquisition of Core-Mark, announced in 2021 and completed on September 1, 2021, in a transaction valued at approximately $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion depending on the source. The convenience business continued to operate under the Core-Mark name and remained headquartered in Westlake, Texas. Since then, the company has highlighted innovation, logistics technology, and sustainability, including a 2024 corporate social responsibility report published on its website. For French-speaking investors, Core-Mark is best viewed as a mature, logistics-intensive convenience distribution asset that is no longer independently listed, but remains highly relevant within the U.S. distribution ecosystem.
