Global Partners

Global Partners is a Newton-based energy company that moves liquid fuels through an integrated network of terminals, wholesale operations and retail sites. It owns and operates one of the largest terminal networks in the U.S., stretching from Maine to Florida and into the Gulf states, and sources petroleum products and renewable fuels for wholesale, commercial and retail customers. Its retail side includes convenience market brands such as Alltown Fresh, Jiffy Mart and XtraMart.

The company traces its roots to 1933, when Abraham Slifka founded Slifky’s Reliable Oil Burner Service and delivered heating oil door to door in Boston neighborhoods during the Great Depression. Growth since then has come through partnerships with international energy companies and multiple acquisitions. Global Partners is now a publicly traded company, yet the Slifka family, in its fourth generation, still leads it and cites reliability, generosity and grit as guiding values.
