Joseph Mirabito to Receive 2010 Carl Tripi Award from New York Association of Convenience Stores

Joseph P. Mirabito, CEO of Quickway Food Stores, Convenience Express and Mirabito Energy Products, Binghamton NY, has been named the recipient of the 2010 Carl Tripi Award by the New York Association of Convenience Stores (NYACS).

The honor is named for the late Carl Tripi of Tripifoods Inc., a Buffalo-based wholesale distributor that supplies convenience stores throughout New York and neighboring states.

“Carl himself remained behind the scenes, but he always made sure NYACS had the financial resources and volunteer support it needed to meet any challenge and keep moving forward,” said NYACS President James Calvin. “The award recognizes individuals who emulate that same low profile, high impact style of supporting the C-store industry. The combination of commitment, generosity and humility that made Carl Tripi so special is also Joe Mirabito’s trademark.”

The award will be presented at NYACS' annual Chairman's Banquet on May 13, 2010, at the Oncenter in Syracuse, NY, capping off the 2010 NYACS Trade Show. For details and registration, visit www.nyacs.org.

He has also served as a Director of the Otsego County Chamber of Commerce and President of the Greater Sidney Development Corp. He also has served on the Board of Directors of the Empire State Petroleum Association since 2002.
