About Scotchman

Scotchman is a regional convenience store brand operating primarily in the Carolinas and surrounding areas. Its locations typically combine a full-service gas station with an on-site convenience store, offering gasoline and diesel, grab‑and‑go food, snacks, coffee, fountain drinks, tobacco products, lottery, and basic household items. Scotchman stores are part of the broader family of community convenience brands operated by GPM Investments LLC, under ARKO Corp, one of the largest convenience store operators in the United States.

A charge labeled something like “3323 SCOTCHMAN WILMINGTON” on your card statement almost always corresponds to an in‑person purchase at a Scotchman gas station and convenience store, often attached to a national fuel brand (for example, Exxon or Mobil). These charges can be for fuel purchases at the pump, items bought inside the store, or a combination of both. In some cases you might see a small preauthorization or a rounded amount when you pay at the pump; this is a temporary hold from the fuel dispenser that later adjusts to the actual purchase total when the transaction settles.

If you’re unsure about a Scotchman charge, start by checking recent fuel stops or convenience‑store visits in the Wilmington, NC, area (or wherever you were traveling) on the date of the transaction. Cross‑check the date and amount against any gas receipts, loyalty‑app history, or bank notifications. You can also contact the specific store using its phone number from a store locator, or reach out through GPM/ARKO’s corporate contact channels to ask about a transaction. If the transaction still looks unfamiliar after you verify locations and receipts, contact your card issuer to dispute the charge and request a replacement card in case your number was skimmed at a pump.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “3323 SCOTCHMAN WILMINGTON” on my card statement?

This descriptor indicates a purchase at a specific Scotchman gas station and convenience store location, likely in or near Wilmington, North Carolina. The number (e.g., 3323) is usually a store or site identifier, and the charge may reflect fuel purchased at the pump, items bought inside the store, or both on the same transaction.

Does Scotchman place preauthorization holds when I pay at the pump?

Yes. Like most gas stations, Scotchman locations may place a temporary preauthorization hold (often a rounded amount higher than your expected purchase) when you pay at the pump. Once the final fuel amount is known, the authorization is adjusted and the hold is released, and your statement will update to the exact transaction total within a few business days.

Can I get a refund from Scotchman if I was overcharged for fuel or in‑store items?

If you believe you were overcharged, bring your receipt and a copy of the card statement to the same Scotchman location and ask to speak with a manager. In many cases, the store can review the transaction on their POS system and issue an in‑store refund. If the store cannot resolve it, contact GPM/ARKO customer service with the date, time, amount, and last four digits of your card for further review.

How can I verify which Scotchman location charged my card?

Check the full descriptor on your statement for a city and possibly a phone number. Then use the store locator linked from scotchmanstores.com or the GPM/ARKO corporate site to match the city and address. You can call the store directly and provide the transaction date, time, and amount so staff can look it up in their system.

Are Scotchman purchases part of a recurring subscription or membership?

No, typical Scotchman charges are one‑time purchases for fuel or convenience‑store items. While Scotchman participates in loyalty programs through GPM/ARKO and fuel partners, these programs generally do not create recurring subscription fees. If you see repeated, similar‑amount charges you don’t recognize, review your receipts and consider contacting your card issuer to rule out card misuse.

Why is the settled amount from Scotchman different from the amount I first saw pending?

Pending amounts from gas stations often reflect the preauthorization hold rather than the final sale. Once your bank receives the finalized transaction from the Scotchman location, the pending amount is replaced with the actual purchase total, which may be lower than the original hold. If the final posted amount still looks wrong, contact the store or your bank for clarification.

How do I contact Scotchman or its corporate owner about a billing issue?

For a specific transaction, your fastest option is to call the individual Scotchman store where the charge occurred—its phone number can be found via online maps or the store locator linked from scotchmanstores.com. For broader or unresolved billing concerns, you can reach out to GPM Investments/ARKO Corp through the contact information on their corporate site, providing detailed transaction information so they can investigate.

Can a Scotchman charge appear under another fuel brand name like Exxon or Mobil?

Yes. Many Scotchman locations are co‑branded with major fuel brands such as Exxon or Mobil. Depending on how the terminal is set up, your statement may show descriptors like “EXXON 3628 SCOTCHMAN” or a similar format that includes both the fuel brand and the Scotchman name. This is normal and still refers to the same Scotchman-operated site.
