- Pacific Pride
Pacific Pride Commercial Fueling (also known as PrideNet) is a network of membership-only fueling stations across the United States. It appeals to truckers and police forces. Its stations are franchised and are often combined with mainstream gas stations. The company offers fuel and no other services like regular gas stations; even its stations have no staff of their own. Customers make all their transactions with a membership card, and the stations have emergency call boxes.
Pacific Pride was also the name of a racehorse which was euthanized after it suffered a broken shoulder in a spill at the
Del Mar racetrack.
