Trimark Petroleum
420 Ellingson Road, Suite 200 , Pacific, Washington, United States

Trimark Petroleum Group, LLC is one of the Pacific Northwests best known independent operators of gasoline service stations and convenience stores. This is not because of its sheer size but rather because of an operating philosophy that emphasizes high-profile sites combined with multiple product offerings that create "commuter service centers". These commuter service centers help Trimark achieve operating results far exceeding those of the industry standard! 

From its humble beginnings as a single store "chain" in 1996, Trimark has grown into one of the Pacific Northwests premier independent marketers of commuter services and related products.   Founded by Al Jiwani and his brothers, Shafiq and Hafiz, the company has flourished by paying close attention to three key tenets:

• Using the power of branding to make its facilities stand apart from its competition;
• Placing an emphasis on outstanding customer service to ensure customer loyalty; and
• Developing integral relationships with its employees, vendors and associates to create a company with vitality and personality.

Favoring high-profile, high-visibility locations, Trimark combines nationally recognized brands such as Union 76 and Shell with its own proprietary brands to quickly gain customer confidence and help the stores achieve profitability levels far in excess of industry norms.   Since the mid-1990s, the company has developed fifteen facilities and, depending on the location, has tweaked its offering to include various branded profit centers such as convenience stores (Pit Stop Express), car washes (White Glove Car Wash) and espresso drive-thrus (BigFoot Java®) as well as "co-branded" fast food options such as McDonalds, Wendys, Jack-in-the-Box and Subway.   Over that time, it has received several national and local accolades including the Convenience Store Decisions Magazines Up and Comer Award in 2000, the Washington Family Institutes 2001 Family Business Award and ConocoPhillips SPIRIT of Excellence Award in 2003. 

Trimark Petroleum Group Community 

 The owners, managers and employees at Trimark Petroleum Group are committed to "giving back" to the communities that we operate in as well as to the global community in general.  In addition to supporting various local and regional charities on a store-by-store basis, Trimark has put together an annual charity golf tournament since 1998.  The benefiting charity for the event rotates each year but has included the Juvenile Diabetes Association, American Cancer Association and the Special Olympics.  The tournament, attended by over 150 golfers and supported by over 30 corporate sponsors, is one of the most highly anticipated golf events in the Seattle area and is typically "sold out" soon after it is announced!
