GSP Partners With Chestnut Market to Create New Logo Design

Clearwater, Fla., Oct. 6, 2020 – GSP, a leading provider of end-to-end retail services and solutions, announced today its partnership with New Paltz, New York-based Chestnut Petroleum Distributors Inc. (CPD) to concept and design a new logo for Chestnut Market.

“While working closely with CPD, we set out to give Chestnut Market a new logo package. The work included the creation of a new logo, updated exterior concepts, brand personality and voice,” said GSP VP of Design Services Steven Cohen. “Our goal was to have CPD’s customers keep Chestnut Market top of mind – by creating a memorable icon that could evolve into a total store package,” added Steven.

“CPD has been serving customers in the area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tristate area for nearly 40 years, but has operated under multiple retail brands,” said Director of Brand Development Sharif Jamal. “The c-store landscape has evolved over the years and now more than ever, it’s important to create a consistent brand that connects with consumers and focuses on their daily needs.”

The Chestnut Market locations feature a Dunkin’, locally made and freshly prepared foodservice offerings and ExxonMobil’s Synergy brand in the forecourt.

GSP’s new logo design impacts 55 of Chestnut’s existing northeast stores and will roll out to dozens of stores over the next two years.

Our Brand Story

GSP started as a printing company in1978. We found our niche supplying in-store signage for convenience stores when retailers guessed quantities they needed. This led to overage, waste and expense. To solve this, we developed software to guarantee on-time delivery of “the right size sign, to the right store, every time.”

In 2014, we started AccuStore with a dedicated team. As software helped drive our growth, we realized that new printing and fulfillment sites near customers could drive business and improve sustainability. We acquired companies that fit GSP’s technical excellence and superior customer service models.

First was Great Big Pictures in Madison, WI in 2015. They lead the field in large format printing and visual merchandising for iconic fashion retailers. Their standards for customer service include award-winning sustainability programs, and expertise to bolster retail environments services.

In 2020, GSP acquired Custom Color in Lenexa, KS. The company supplies printed graphics to leading retailers. Custom Color’s stellar quality in fabric printing also aligns with GSP’s values.
