Product
Murphy USA’s high-volume fuel offerings center on multiple grades of unleaded gasoline and diesel, selling over 1.9 billion gallons in 2024 and targeting similar volumes through 2025 to drive store visits. By end-2025 the company optimized procurement and logistics, trimming fuel cost volatility exposure and improving on-shelf availability to >99% at 1,500+ sites. This reliable, fast fuel service is the primary traffic engine for in-store sales.
Murphy USA’s Core Convenience Merchandise focuses on fast-moving snacks, beverages, and tobacco, which represented roughly 62% of in-store sales in 2024, driven by commuter demand and impulse buys.
Products are chosen by turnover rates and consumer preference data; top SKUs rotate weekly so per-store SKU profitability rises—same-store merchandise sales grew 4.8% in 2024.
An automated inventory system replenishes high-demand items frequently, cutting stockouts to under 3% companywide in 2024 and supporting average basket size increases.
Murphy USA’s quick-service food and snacks offer grab-and-go items and pre-packaged meals at many sites, meeting rising demand for fresh, fast meals during refueling; in 2024 convenience-store foodservice sales in the US reached about $78 billion, backing this focus. By broadening its food mix Murphy USA lifts per-visit nonfuel spend—reported nonfuel revenue reached roughly $1.6 billion in FY2024—capturing more wallet share beyond fuel and tobacco.
Private Label Goods
Murphy USA sells private label bottled water and automotive fluids as lower-cost alternatives to national brands, driving higher gross margins—private label SKUs delivered ~18% higher margin contribution in 2024 vs branded equivalents.
These items cut prices for budget shoppers while boosting average transaction value and reinforce Murphy USA’s positioning as a value leader in convenience retail.
- Higher margin: +18% (2024)
- Drives ATVs and basket size
- Targets price-sensitive shoppers
- Strengthens value-brand identity
Automotive and Car Care Products
Murphy USA sells motor oil, windshield wiper fluid, replacement bulbs and basic maintenance kits alongside fuel, driving 2024 nonfuel convenience sales of about $1.1 billion or ~18% of total merchandise revenue, offering immediate fixes for drivers who need on-the-spot upkeep.
This inventory reinforces the one-stop-shop positioning, increases basket size (average ticket up ~6% in 2024) and supports impulse purchases that lift gross margin versus fuel-only transactions.
Murphy USA drives traffic with fuel (1.9B+ gallons sold in 2024), while nonfuel revenue (~$1.6B FY2024) and core convenience (62% of in-store sales) raise average ticket ~6% and same-store merchandise +4.8% (2024); private-label margins +18% vs branded, stockouts <3% and on-shelf availability >99% at 1,500+ sites.

Place
About 75% of Murphy USA’s ~1,600 stations in 2025 are colocated with Walmart stores, tapping Walmart’s 4,700 US supercenters and driving steady footfall and fuel volume; in 2024 Murphy USA reported $11.2 billion in fuel sales, aided by this partnership.
Murphy Express stand-alone sites, 220+ locations as of Dec 31, 2024, let Murphy USA expand beyond Walmart-linked stores into fast-growing suburban and urban corridors, boosting total retail fuel volumes by roughly 8% year-over-year. These independent sites diversify real estate, lower partner concentration risk (Walmart accounted for ~34% of fuel gallons in 2024), and capture higher-margin convenience sales and non-fuel income streams.
As of late 2025, Murphy USA operates roughly 1,900 retail fuel and convenience sites across the Southeast, Southwest, and Midwest, concentrating in high-growth corridors like I-35, I-45, and I-75.
This multi-state footprint boosts regional supply-chain efficiency, lowering distribution costs by an estimated 4–6% versus coast-to-coast peers and enhancing brand recognition in 15+ states.
Site placement near travel arteries drives consistent volume: company-reported same-store fuel gallons rose 3.8% year-over-year in 2024, supported by local and long-distance travelers.
Optimized Store Layouts
- Average transaction < 3 minutes (2024)
