Global Partners LP
About
Global Partners LP is a liquid energy supplier and retail operator headquartered in Newton. Its business connects three pieces: a large network of fuel terminals, a wholesale market presence and a retail portfolio of fueling locations and convenience stores. The company sources petroleum products and renewable fuels and moves them through its own system, whose terminals run from Maine to Florida and into the Gulf states, serving wholesale, commercial and retail customers.
Its story starts with a single heating oil truck. Abraham Slifka launched Slifky’s Reliable Oil Burner Service in Boston in 1933, delivering heating oil through the Great Depression. Over the following decades the business expanded through acquisitions and partnerships with international energy companies, eventually becoming a publicly traded Fortune 500 company. Fourth-generation members of the Slifka family remain in leadership, and the company frames its culture around serving customers, caring for guests and growing its people.
