Fueling Success: How Ben Took His Gas Station Business to the Next Level with Christensen

In the constant gas and go of retail fuel stations, teaming up with the right partner isn’t just about selling fuel; it’s about growing together, having a mutual understanding, and driving innovation. At Christensen, we’re not just about filling up tanks; we’re about helping dreams come true, one gallon at a time.

A Partnership Built on Trust and Growth

Over 20 years ago, Ben Joshi started his journey as a gas station entrepreneur. Seeking more than just a fuel supplier, he found a trusted partner in Christensen who shared his vision. Fast forward to 2024, Ben proudly operates 17 thriving gas stations, alongside convenience stores with eateries and full-service truck stops.

That’s what we’re all about at Christensen – we’ve been a family-run company since 1980. When Ben first came to us, he didn’t just show us his business plan; he showed us his dream. We saw his potential and provided him with the resources to launch his first gas station. From there, it was a journey of continuous growth, station by station.

Crafting a Brand, Building an Identity 

Building a brand involves more than just a sleek logo. It’s about consistently delivering quality experiences that build trust with customers. By partnering with top fuel brands, we’re able to bring a trusted brand association to Ben’s Markets on opening day. While customers will initially stop for a familiar fuel brand, it’s our commitment to quality fuel and Ben’s dedicated to a premium experience that will keep them coming back to Ben’s Market.

Ben and his various store managers also appreciate the brand resources we provide. From stylish uniforms to eye-catching signage, we handle all the branding intricacies so they can focus on running the stations efficiently.

Station Enhancements with Christensen:

Embracing Technology: Christensen’s Innovative Solutions 

In today’s tech world, being digitally savvy is essential to success. Ben leads the way with Christensen’s cutting-edge customer app and portal.
