Mako Networks today announced a major expansion of its rapidly growing footprint in the U.S. retail fuel market. CrossAmerica Partners LP has joined Mako’s new “All-In” Program, bringing all eligible locations (almost 1,600 total) onto Mako’s next-generation, cloud-managed retail connectivity platform.
As the most widely accepted and approved network vendor in the U.S. retail petroleum market, Mako is setting a new standard for secure, modern, and highly scalable retail networking. The All-In program rewards forward-thinking operators who standardize on a platform trusted across nearly every major US fuel brand.
CrossAmerica Partners Deploys Mako Across Its Entire Network
CrossAmerica Partners – one of America’s largest wholesale fuel distributors and convenience store operators – will deploy Mako’s PCI-certified, cloud-managed solutions across its diverse brand portfolio, including:
- ExxonMobil
- BP
- Phillips 66
- Valero
- Motiva (76 branded)
- Citgo
- Marathon
- Unbranded locations
As more fuel brands approve Mako, CrossAmerica will proactively bring those sites onto the platform. By standardizing with Mako, CrossAmerica gains a unified, modern infrastructure that strengthens security, uptime, compliance, network visibility, and operational control across its entire national footprint.
“CrossAmerica Partners is committed to delivering operational excellence at every store we support,” said Bob Brecker, EVP of Operations at CrossAmerica. “Mako gives us a unified, compliant, and resilient network platform that scales seamlessly across every one of our eligible petroleum brands.”
The All-In Advantage: Next Generation Networking for Modern Retail Fuel Operators

“CrossAmerica Partners is one the most respected operators in the U.S. retail fuel industry,” said Jon Kelly, Chief Revenue Officer at Mako Networks. “We are proud to go ‘All-In’ with their first-class organization. Their decision to standardize on Mako reinforces our position as the most trusted, widely approved, and easiest to manage secure network platform in the retail fuel market.”
