RaceTrak is a  gas/convenience store chain with more than 600 locations from Texas to Georgia that has had a strong preference for concrete parking lots for at least 20 years. The key reason is that the aesthetic look of concrete supports the inviting, bright and clean look of the stores that is so important to RaceTrak. The additional safety factor of good parking lot  illumination is also appreciated by the company and its customers, and management recognizes the increased benefits of concrete on that score as it quickly expanded the use of LED lights. Approximately 80% of the chain’s 80-100 new stores planned for 2016 are expected to include concrete parking lots.
