ORANGE BEACH — EG Group, one of the nation's leading coffee, convenience store and gas retailers in the United States, has introduced its Cumberland Farms brand to the Gulf Coast of Florida and Alabama.

Both stores feature Cumberland Farms' latest design with the newest equipment and menu items that include a wide variety of hot grab-and-go options along with Farmhouse Blend coffee. Guests will also be able to enroll in SmartPay Rewards and enjoy savings of 10 cents per gallon of fuel every day.

"We know that both Gulf Coast residents and former New Englanders who have relocated to this area will appreciate seeing Cumberland Farms in their neighborhood," said George Fournier, president of EG America. "Not only are we adding to our long-time presence in Florida, but we're also entering the Alabama market for the first time with the Cumberland Farms brand. Our team looks forward to providing our guests with a new convenience experience and our premium snacks, grab-and-go foods and Farmhouse Blend coffee."

The new Cumberland Farms in Orange Beach at 23679 Canal Road is 7,700 square feet with 12 gas pumps. This location also features a Sbarro restaurant with a Burger King scheduled to open this month. The other new Cumberland Farms, located at 6805 U.S. in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, will span 6,700 square feet with 12 gas pumps and features a Burger King.

These two stores are the first of many Cumberland Farms to open in the Gulf Coast in the coming 24 months. In February, EG announced plans to expand Cumberland Farms to the Gulf Coast by converting most of its existing Tom Thumb stores, in addition to developing new locations.
