"The Texaco Xpress Lube stores were a synergistic addition to our existing store base and represents our continued commitment to serving the Louisiana market with what we believe to be the best quick oil change in the industry," said Brett Ponton, Chief Executive Officer at Jiffy Lube Heartland. "This market continues to represent a significant opportunity for our company, and the geographic locations create great synergy with our future plans. We are very pleased to provide the consumers in the Louisiana market with additional Jiffy Lube locations that can quickly service their vehicles needs."
All 44 of the incumbent Texaco Xpress Lube teammates will be invited to remain in their current positions following the Jiffy Lube Heartland acquisition. In addition, Heartland brings new health care benefits to store level teammates, and corporate discounts and incentive offers exclusive to the Heartland Automotive teammates.
