Enmark Stations, Inc., founded in 1963 as Interstate Stations by Robert Demere, is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
The Savannah-based company, which operates 59 stations in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, has remained in the Demere family and is under the direction of Houstoun Demere, who serves as the company’s vice president.
“During our 50 years in business, we’ve strived to put our customers and our community first,” Houston Demere said. “As we look to the next 50 years and beyond, we remain steadfast in our goal of supporting the communities in which we do business and offering our customers the best possible experience every time they visit an Enmark station.”
During the early 1990s, Enmark underwent a major reimaging campaign and began expanding its line of products in 1997 by adding convenience stores, discount tobacco stores and car wash units at select sites.
More recently, Enmark has expanded its food and beverage service at numerous stations, offering items such as frozen yogurt and freshly prepared foods including hot breakfast items, fried chicken, smoked ribs and rotisserie chickens.
Enmark opened new stations in Springfield and Bluffton, S.C.
Enmark recently raised more than $65,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walk and, over the years, Enmark and its parent company, Colonial Group, Inc., have supported a number of local organizations, including America’s Second Harvest Food Bank, the Salvation Army, Chatham-Savannah Citizen Advocacy, the YMCA and others.
In recent years, Enmark has sponsored the Savannah River Bridge Run, a popular annual race in which participants run or walk over the city’s Talmadge Bridge. The 2013 event will take place Dec. 7 to benefit the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion at St. Joseph’s/Candler.
