Documents provided as part of the application for the tax abatement show Speedway plans to hire more than 200 new full-time workers over the next few years as a result of Marathon Petroleum Corp.'s recent acquisition of Andeavor, a refining firm headquartered in Texas. Marathon is the parent company of Speedway.
Anthony Kenney, Speedway’s president, told members of the Springfield Rotary Club earlier this year that the deal would add as many as 1,100 convenience store outlets to Speedway’s portfolio. The new workers would likely provide office support and other duties for Speedway’s new locations.
