Pride

Pride Stores is a family-owned and operated chain of convenience stores and gas stations headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts. Established in 1976, the company has grown to encompass 32 locations across western Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The company offers a diverse range of products and services to meet the needs of its customers. Each store features fresh baked goods, made-to-order deli sandwiches with sliced meats and cheeses, and a variety of canned foods, beer, wine, and other items.

Additionally, Pride Stores operates 15 Subway franchises and 15 Chester's Chicken franchises, providing customers with a variety of dining options.

In 2022, Pride Stores was acquired by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC, a private equity firm focused on energy infrastructure investments. Despite the change in ownership, the company continues to operate under the Pride name, with Marsha Medina serving as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Commitment to sustainability is a key focus for Pride Stores. In 2017, the company partnered with GreenPrint LLC to launch Purpose, a program aimed at reducing fuel customers' tailpipe emissions.

This initiative invests in local, regional, and global certified carbon-reduction projects, as well as tree planting initiatives.
