Murphy USA Groundbreaking

Murphy USA breaks ground in Oxford, Alabama.  The goundbreaking marks the beginning of construction for our brand new 1200 sq ft location.  The upcoming Murphy USA retail fueling station will be located at 45 Plaza Ln in Oxford.  Murphy USA began in 1996 as a retail gasoline venture between Murphy Oil Corporation and Walmart to build Murphy USA stations in the parking lots of their supercenter stores.  At  that time, Murphy USA was a downstreatm subsidiary of Murphy Oil Corporation, which was then a integrated oil and gas company.  

On August 30, 2013, Murphy USA spun-off from Murphy Oil Corportation as a standalone gasoline and convenience retail company and began trading under the ticker symbol MUSA on the New York Stock Exchange on Sept. 3, 2013.  The spin-off was designed to enhance Murphy USA's ability to grow, innovate, build capabilities, and focus on its core business as the leading low-price retailer in its sector. 

Headquartered in El Dorado, Murphy USA is now one of teh largest independent retailers of gasoline products and convenience store merchandise and has expanded to a network of over 1,400 locations in 26 states acrosee the Southeast, Southwest, and Midwest regions of the United States.  Our stores are 100% company operated and 90% company owned; most are adjacent to Walmart stores.  Murphy USA serves approximately 1.6 million customers per day.  Murphy USA also currently operates 50 stores in Alabama and 3 more set to begin construction later this year.  

Andrew Clyde, Murphy USA's President and CEO, commented, "We are excited to open this site which allows us to bring quality, affordable fuel to our neighbors and surrounding communities.  We plan to continue our high standard of customer service and retail operations."
