LEXINGTON, KY – Lexington Sporting Club is proud to announce Clark’s Pump-N-Shop as an official partner, marking an exciting collaboration that enhances the fan experience while engaging the local community. This partnership will feature a variety of branding and marketing activations across both Lexington SC’s USL Championship and USL Super League teams.
“We are thrilled to partner with Lexington Sporting Club as they bring professional soccer to our community. At Clark’s Pump-N-Shop, we are committed to supporting local initiatives that enhance opportunities for athletes and bring excitement to our region. This partnership allows us to fuel the passion of soccer fans while contributing to the growth of the sport in Lexington,” said Rick Clark Owner of Clark’s Pump-N-Shop. “As a family-owned company, we take pride in investing in the communities we serve, and we see this as a chance to help build something special for the city of Lexington and surrounding areas. We look forward to cheering on the teams, engaging with the fans, and being part of this exciting new chapter for Lexington and its players.”
One of the most exciting elements of the partnership is the Goals for Gas promotion. At each USL Super League home match, one lucky fan in attendance will receive a $100 gas card for every goal scored by Lexington SC Women. This initiative not only celebrates the club’s on-field success but also rewards dedicated supporters.
Beyond the stadium, Lexington SC will have the opportunity to reach fans at Clark’s Pump-N-Shop locations through dedicated marketing activations, including the ability to run promotional spots on Gas Pump TVs. This extends the club’s engagement into everyday interactions with the community, further strengthening its connection with supporters.
“We are thrilled to partner with Clark’s Pump-N-Shop, a brand that values community as much as we do,” said Kim Shelton, CEO of Lexington Sporting Club. “This partnership is about more than just matchdays—it’s about bringing families together, giving athletes new opportunities right here in Lexington, and building a club that truly feels like home for our fans.”
Clark’s Pump-N-Shop, a locally rooted company with a strong presence in Kentucky and beyond, continues to support community-driven initiatives, making them a perfect fit for Lexington SC’s mission.
