JF Group Strengthens Arizona Presence Through Acquisition of Maverick Petroleum Services
The JF Group (JF), a recognized national leader in fueling infrastructure, petroleum equipment distribution, comprehensive service offerings, general contracting, and construction services, proudly announces a significant milestone in its strategic growth journey: the acquisition of Maverick Petroleum Services, a respected petroleum service contractor headquartered in Arizona. This acquisition marks a pivotal step in JF’s ongoing efforts to expand its capabilities and market presence throughout the Southwestern United States.
Founded on a commitment to excellence in the petroleum equipment sector, Maverick Petroleum Services has earned a stellar reputation across Arizona for its expertise in the installation, maintenance, and repair of petroleum handling equipment. The company’s capabilities extend beyond basic service work to include advanced technical support for Point-of-Sale (POS) systems, environmental compliance testing, and light construction services specifically designed for fuel system upgrades and regulatory compliance. By serving as an Authorized Service Contractor (ASC) for industry-leading brands such as Gilbarco and as a Verifone Authorized Service Contractor (VASC), Maverick has solidified its position as a go-to provider of reliable, high-quality service solutions for fuel retailers, commercial fueling operations, and other businesses dependent on robust petroleum infrastructure.
The integration of Maverick Petroleum Services into the JF Group’s expansive operations will provide an immediate and substantial benefit to clients throughout Arizona. This acquisition not only enhances JF’s ability to deliver responsive and comprehensive service but also ensures complete statewide coverage, enabling JF to offer rapid 24/7 emergency support—a critical advantage in the fueling industry where downtime can significantly impact customer satisfaction and revenue.
“Our acquisition of Maverick Petroleum Services represents an exciting new chapter for JF,” said Keith Shadrick, Chief Executive Officer of the JF Group. “The addition of Maverick’s skilled technicians and their deep-rooted relationships with customers aligns perfectly with our mission to provide unparalleled service, safety, and innovation in every market we serve. Maverick’s culture of excellence mirrors our own, and we are confident this partnership will create tremendous value for our customers and team members alike.”
Through this acquisition, JF gains access to Maverick’s decades-long expertise, proven track record, and highly trained workforce. Maverick’s technicians are widely respected for their technical proficiency in maintaining and repairing sophisticated fueling systems, including automated dispensers, underground storage tanks, and vapor recovery systems. They also bring specialized knowledge in upgrading fuel systems to meet evolving environmental regulations—an area of growing importance as federal, state, and local agencies increase their focus on emissions control, leak prevention, and environmental stewardship in the petroleum industry.
Moreover, Maverick’s established customer base includes a diverse range of clients, from independent gas stations and regional fuel distributors to major national brands and government agencies. By incorporating these relationships into JF’s broader network, the combined organization will be better positioned to offer flexible, scalable solutions tailored to the specific needs of both small businesses and large enterprise customers across Arizona.
The acquisition will also enable JF to expand its suite of products and services, bringing enhanced offerings to customers who rely on advanced POS systems and integrated payment technologies. As fuel retailers seek to modernize their payment infrastructure to support EMV compliance, contactless payments, and loyalty programs, JF’s expanded capabilities—bolstered by Maverick’s deep expertise in POS installation and maintenance—will allow the company to provide seamless, end-to-end solutions for both legacy and next-generation systems.
JF’s leadership team emphasized that the integration process is already in progress and is being handled with great care to ensure a smooth transition for Maverick’s existing customers and employees. Key priorities during the integration phase include preserving service continuity, maintaining open communication with customers about upcoming enhancements, and providing support to Maverick’s staff as they join the larger JF organization. Both companies share a dedication to employee development and career growth, and JF has expressed its intention to offer new opportunities for Maverick’s team members, including expanded training, access to advanced technologies, and long-term career paths within JF’s nationwide network.
“Our customers will benefit from the best of both worlds,” continued Shadrick. “They will continue to receive the same reliable service they have come to expect from Maverick Petroleum Services, while also gaining access to JF’s broader resources, advanced technologies, and expanded product portfolio. We are committed to investing in our Arizona operations to ensure we exceed customer expectations and set new standards for service excellence.”
The acquisition of Maverick Petroleum Services underscores JF’s unwavering commitment to strengthening its presence in key regional markets through strategic investments and partnerships. By uniting two organizations with shared values, complementary expertise, and a mutual focus on customer success, the combined entity is well-positioned to address the evolving needs of the fueling industry across Arizona and beyond.
Looking ahead, JF plans to build upon this momentum by exploring additional opportunities to grow its service footprint and deepen relationships with customers throughout the Southwest. With a steadfast dedication to safety, quality, and innovation, JF remains focused on delivering industry-leading solutions that support the success of fuel retailers, commercial operators, and infrastructure developers nationwide.
For customers of both JF and Maverick Petroleum Services, this acquisition represents an exciting opportunity to benefit from an expanded team of industry experts, enhanced service capabilities, and a stronger commitment than ever to supporting the fueling industry’s critical infrastructure needs.
