Mark Oil Partners With Local Pros to Please Customers

12/19/25

Mark Oil Company and Earp's Stores are proud to announce a partnership with Pure Commercial Cleaning as part of our commitment to being the cleanest fueling and retail sites in the Charlotte area.

"We separate ourselves from the competition by striving to be the cleanest, most well-maintained sites around Charlotte," says Gay Karlsson, Director of Marketing at Mark Oil Company. "Our brand is built on the promise of cleanliness and friendliness, ensuring customers feel appreciated and welcome."

Operating along the I-485 commuter route, Mark Oil sites carry BP branded fuel and compete with national chains by exceeding standard maintenance requirements. In addition to meeting BP’s visual standards for canopies and pumps, we focus on providing the cleanest restrooms and shopping experiences at our neighborhood markets.

For local brands like Earp’s, which has served Mint Hill and East Mecklenburg County for over 70 years, these standards are vital. Chad Earp, third-generation owner of four Earp's locations, notes that cleanliness and accessibility are key to thriving as new competition enters the area.

To maintain these high standards, Charlotte-based Pure Commercial Cleaning performs weekly deep-cleaning services. While store employees manage daily upkeep, the Pure team provides specialized cleaning, addressing hard-to-reach areas, sanitizing frequently touched surfaces, and storefront detailing. "Our Google reviews reflect the success of a multi-layered cleaning protocol, involving Earp's staff, Pure Commercial Cleaning, and other local, specialized cleaning pros" says Karlsson. "The positive feedback we receive confirms the value of using outside professionals to assist our in-store teams."

Mark Oil's dedication to sanitation remains unwavering. We believe that partnering with other locally owned businesses is essential to consistently delivering the standards our customers expect. In a landscape of large franchises, Mark Oil Company and its network of individual store operators value the personal relationships that allow them to exceed expectations for cleanliness, friendliness, and convenience.
