SAN ANTONIO – Valero Energy Corp. announced today that its Valero brand will expand its presence in the Washington, D.C./Maryland area through an agreement with Landmark Petroleum Suppliers LLC, a Springfield, Va.-based fuel supplier.

Under the agreement, Landmark will convert 27 properties to the Valero brand, bringing these sites into Valero’s coast-to-coast network of more than 5,000 retail and wholesale branded outlets.

In addition to 11 sites in the Washington, D.C., metro area, Landmark will adopt the Valero brand at 13 locations in Maryland, including three in Hyattsville and two each in Landover Hills and Frederick. Six others stretch from Baltimore in the north to Fort Washington in the south. Northern Virginia is home to another three locations.
