FORT WAYNE, IN. February 17th — A convenience store chain familiar with motorists in Ohio and Michigan is expanding to Indiana with the acquisition of McIntosh Energy Company and its four MacFood Mart convenience stores. Ridi Stores, established in 1999 in Toledo, Ohio, currently operates 19 locations in six counties in Ohio and Michigan.

McIntosh Energy Company has been a Fort Wayne Business fixture for over 70 years and got its start by delivering home heating oil to rapidly growing neighborhoods in Fort Wayne. The company was founded by Russell McIntosh in 1953, and later succeeded by his son, Ray McIntosh. The company provides fuel delivery services and is a Sunoco Distributor offering high quality petroleum products at its four MacFood Mart locations.

“It’s been a great source of pride to serve the Greater Fort Wayne community throughout the years, and we wanted to ensure these stores would be in good hands for the future. I’m confident Ridi Stores will continue to provide the level of service and community involvement our guests have come to know and love,” said Ray McIntosh.

Ridi Stores will also be taking over bulk fuel delivery operations and Pacific Pride fleet card services including a stand-alone fleet fueling site in addition to its MacFood Mart locations. Operations will continue with the same reliability and service standards customers have depended on for decades.

“We’re excited to join the Greater Fort Wayne community and look forward to continuing to build strong relationships through reliable fuel, fresh food offerings, and friendly service,” said Loui Ridi, President and CEO of Ridi Stores.

While no official timeline is set, MacFood Mart locations will be rebranded to Ridi Stores.
