VP RACING FUELS ACQUIRES TENNESSEE LOCATION
San Antonio, TX – VP Racing Fuels, Inc., today announced they have acquired a new property and facility in Huntingdon, Tennessee, citing a favorable atmosphere for business growth and development. With all that the location has to offer, VP feels it is ideal for their vision of the future.
“VP was founded over forty years ago in San Antonio,” said Alan Cerwick, President and CEO of VP Racing Fuels.“ As the company has continued a consistent and remarkable growth, we have acquired additional properties in Texas, plus have facilities in Indiana and Delaware. We evaluated all of these locations, ultimately hoping to expand in Texas, but unfortunately, acquiring the approvals to fully develop the Texas sites has been too challenging. On the flip side, Tennessee is clearly open for business, and their desire to attract and partner with companies wanting to grow is a perfect fit for VP.”
The local, state and economic development agencies in Tennessee were eager to help VP acquire this property and obtain all necessary permits and approvals to ensure full use of the facility. “One of our main objectives in Tennessee is to make sure our rural communities are well-represented in the world of economic development,” said Governor Bill Lee. “I want to thank VP for supporting our mission to prioritize rural areas by investing in Huntingdon and creating new jobs in West Tennessee.”
