For Women’s History Month, we would like to highlight the Women in our industry that are breaking down barriers. Refuel is proud to work with companies supporting female leadership roles for women who have climbed their way up the hierarchy to achieve what few women have within a male-dominated industry. We are happy to share the success of three prominent women from brands on the shelves of our stores across the south.
