RaceTrac Makes North Carolina Debut with New Store in Monroe

The new store will deliver its Whatever Gets You Going style of convenience to the Tar Heel state

MONROE, N.C., Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RaceTrac, one of the nation’s largest convenience retailers, will celebrate the grand opening of its first North Carolina store with a community event on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 4060 W. Highway 74 in Monroe. The celebration will include gift card giveaways, samples from popular brands like Pepsi and Takis, and a tuition donation to four students at South Piedmont Community College. 

Festivities will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9:30 a.m. Starting at 10 a.m., the first 100 guests lined up at the RaceTrac tent will each receive a $20 RaceTrac gift card that can be used outside at the pump or inside the store for made-in-store food, Swirl World frozen yogurt, and other convenience store favorites.

The new Monroe store, strategically positioned along the busy U.S. Route 74 corridor connecting to Charlotte, represents a significant milestone in the company’s growth strategy and follows recent new market entries into Indiana, Ohio and South Carolina. This expansion brings RaceTrac’s signature “Whatever Gets You Going” convenience experience to North Carolina residents for the first time and adds approximately 30 new jobs to the Monroe community.
