Mako Networks today announced another major expansion of its rapidly growing U.S. retail fuel footprint, as Petroleum Marketing Group (PMG) becomes the latest large‑scale operator to join Mako’s “All‑In” Program. Through this initiative, PMG will standardize all its eligible locations on Mako’s secure, cloud‑managed retail connectivity platform.
As the most widely accepted and approved network vendor in the U.S. retail petroleum industry, Mako continues to set the benchmark for secure, scalable, modern connectivity. The All‑In Program is designed for forward‑thinking operators who want to elevate network resilience, simplify operations, and unify their technology stack on a platform trusted across nearly every major U.S. fuel brand.
PMG Standardizes Its Entire Network on Mako
Petroleum Marketing Group – one of the largest multi‑brand fuel distributors on the East Coast – has selected Mako Networks as its new network standard, citing Mako’s unmatched reliability, PCI scope reduction, and ease of deployment.
PMG will deploy Mako’s PCI‑certified, cloud‑managed appliances and services across its diverse portfolio of brands, including:
- ExxonMobil
- BP
- Sunoco
- Citgo
- Marathon
- 76
- Unbranded locations
PMG is also evaluating Mako’s advanced software suite – including MerchantPCI (automated vulnerability scanning), SmartATG (secure remote tank monitor access), and Periscope (secure remote access to POS and on‑site equipment) – to expand automation and remote management capabilities across its retail footprint.
“Our retail locations require high uptime and strong security, and Mako delivers on both with offering minimal complexity and outstanding support,” said Anoush Rashidi, VP of Operations at PMG. “We’re excited to deepen our partnership and are already exploring Mako’s software offerings to help future‑proof our network.”
The Mako “All‑In” Advantage: Simplifying Connectivity at Scale
By adopting Mako’s full suite, PMG gains a secure, standardized platform built for complex, distributed retail networks. The deployment includes:
- Mako 6600 Series secure, PCI‑certified firewall appliances
- Cloud‑managed SD‑WAN optimized for fuel and retail environments
- Integrated cellular failover for maximum uptime
- Zero‑touch deployment for rapid site activations
- Centralized monitoring and configuration for large multi‑site operations
- 24x7x365 U.S.-based support
- Automated security and software updates
“PMG is one of the most respected operators in the U.S. retail fuel industry,” said Jon Kelly, Chief Revenue Officer at Mako Networks. “As they continue to expand, we’re proud to provide the secure, reliable, and easy‑to‑manage network infrastructure they need to support growth at national scale.”
Installations are now underway and will continue throughout 2026.
