Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of its consolidated results of operations, financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other future periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, which are included in its 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2015.
	The significant accounting policies and certain financial information that are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), but which are not required for interim reporting purposes, have been omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include Core-Mark and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain prior year amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
	Shares and per share amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split in the form of a dividend effective June 27, 2014.
	Concentration of Credit Risks
	Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash investments, accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in short-term instruments with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure in any one financial instrument. The Company pursues amounts and incentives due from vendors in the normal course of business and is often allowed to deduct these amounts and incentives from payments made to vendors.
	A credit review is completed for new customers and ongoing credit evaluations of each customer’s financial condition are performed periodically, with reserves maintained for potential credit losses. Credit limits given to customers are based on a risk assessment of their ability to pay and other factors. Accounts receivable are typically not collateralized, but the Company may require prepayments or other guarantees whenever deemed necessary.
	Alimentation Couche-Tard, Inc. (“Couche-Tard”), the Company’s largest customer, accounted for approximately 14.5% and 14.6% of the Company’s total net sales for three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivables as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
	Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective
	On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. The FASB also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date which is for annual reports beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial statements.
	On June 19, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period: Topic 718 (“ASU 2014-12”). The standard states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-12 on its financial statements.
	On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs: Subtopic 835-30 (“ASU 2015-03”). In order to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than an asset.  ASU 2015-03 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The guidance also requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its financial statements.

	Asset Acquisition of Karrys Bros., Limited.
	On February 23, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Karrys Bros., Limited (“Karrys Bros.”), a regional convenience wholesaler servicing customers in Ontario, Canada, and the surrounding provinces, for cash consideration of approximately $8.0 million, or $10.0 million Canadian dollars. The Karrys Bros. operations will be integrated into the Company’s existing distribution center in Toronto and has provided the Company the opportunity to increase its market share in eastern Canada. The purchase price allocation of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed, based on a preliminary estimate of their fair values at the acquisition date, was as follows (in millions):
		February 23, 2015
	Accounts receivable	$	3.9
	Inventory	3.9
	Property and equipment	2.3
	Liabilities	(2.1		)
	Total consideration	$	8
	Transaction costs in connection with the acquisition of Karrys Bros. were approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The results of operations of Karrys Bros. have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income since the acquisition date. The Company did not consider the Karrys Bros. acquisition to be a material business combination and therefore has not disclosed pro-forma results of operations for the acquired business.

Inventories	Inventories
	Inventories consist of the following (in millions):
		March 31,			December 31,
		2015			2014
	Inventories at FIFO, net of reserves	$	414.6		$	533.1
	Less: LIFO reserve	(117.7		)	(115.3		)
	Total inventories at LIFO, net of reserves	$	296.9		$	417.8
	Cost of goods sold reflects the application of the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of valuing inventories in the U.S. based upon estimated annual producer price indices. Inventories in Canada are valued on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis, as LIFO is not a permitted inventory valuation method in Canada. During periods of rising prices, the LIFO method of costing inventories generally results in higher current costs being charged against income while lower costs are retained in inventories. Conversely, during periods of decreasing prices, the LIFO method of costing inventories generally results in lower current costs being charged against income and higher stated inventories. The Company recorded LIFO expense of $2.4 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

	Amounts borrowed (Credit Facility)	$	1	$	55.9
	Obligations under capital leases	15		12.3
	Total long-term debt	$	16	$	68.2
	The Company has a revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with a capacity of $200 million, which can be increased up to an additional $100 million, limited by a borrowing base primarily consisting of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. All obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s present and future assets. The terms of the Credit Facility permit prepayment without penalty at any time (subject to customary breakage costs with respect to LIBOR or CDOR based loans prepaid prior to the end of an interest period). The margin added to the LIBOR or CDOR rate is currently a range of 125 to 175 basis points. In addition, the Credit Facility provides for stock repurchases of up to an aggregate of $50 million, not to exceed $15 million in any year, a $75 million ceiling for dividends and up to $125 million for permitted acquisitions. As of March 31, 2015, the remaining balances under the Credit Facility for stock repurchases, dividends, and permitted acquisitions were $35.7 million, $54.4 million, and $116.9 million, respectively. The Credit Facility expires in May 2018.
	Amounts borrowed, outstanding letters of credit and amounts available to borrow, net of certain reserves required under the Credit Facility, were as follows (in millions):
		March 31,		December 31,
		2015		2014
	Amounts borrowed	$	1	$	55.9
	Outstanding letters of credit	18.5		17.4
	Amounts available to borrow (1)	170		114.8
	______________________________________________
	-1	Excluding $100 million expansion feature.
	Average borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $30.4 million and $13.6 million, respectively, with amounts borrowed, at any one time outstanding, ranging from zero to $74.4 million and from zero to $46.3 million, respectively.
	The weighted-average interest rate on the revolving credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 1.7% compared to 1.6% for the same period in 2014. The weighted-average interest rate is calculated based on the daily cost of borrowing, reflecting a blend of prime and LIBOR rates. The Company paid fees for unused facility and letter of credit participation, which are included in interest expense, of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recorded charges related to amortization of debt issuance costs, which are included in interest expense, of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Unamortized debt issuance costs were $1.0 million as of March 31, 2015 and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2014.

Contingencies	Contingencies
	Litigation
	The Company and its insurers are plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Sonitrol Corporation. The case arose from the December 21, 2002 arson fire at the Denver warehouse, in which Sonitrol failed to detect and respond to a four-hour burglary and subsequent arson. In 2010, a jury found in favor of the Company and its insurers. Sonitrol appealed the judgment to the Colorado Appellate Court and on July 19, 2012, the Appellate Court upheld the trial court’s ruling on two of the three issues being appealed but set aside the judgment and remanded the case back to the District Court for trial on the sole issue of damages. On April 29, 2013, the Colorado Supreme Court denied Sonitrol’s appeal and the case was returned to the District Court to resolve the sole issue of damages. On April 11, 2014, the damages trial concluded with a jury award of $2.75 million in favor of the Company and its insurers, finding that Sonitrol was liable for damages related only to the burglary and not the subsequent arson. The District Court denied the Company’s motion for post-judgment relief on June 26, 2014. The Company and its insurers have appealed the District Court’s decision. The Company filed its opening brief in March 2015 and is in the briefing process with Sonitrol. The Company is unable to predict when this litigation will be resolved and its ultimate outcome. Any monetary recovery from this lawsuit will be recognized only if and when it is finally paid to the Company.
	The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings, claims, investigations and administrative proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. These provisions, if any, are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. In the opinion of management, the outcome of pending litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

	The Company’s effective tax rate was 39.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 40.0% for the same period in 2014.
	The total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $0.4 million at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. The Company does not expect any significant change in the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits through March 31, 2016.
	The Company files U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2011 to 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by federal authorities. The 2011 to 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by state authorities with the 2010 tax year still open for certain state tax authorities. The 2007 to 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by the tax authorities in Canada.

	The Company incurred less than $0.1 million in net periodic benefit costs related to the post-retirement benefit plan for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
	The Company contributed $0.7 million to the Pension Plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and none for the same period in 2015. No minimum contribution to the defined-benefit pension plan is required in 2015 and the Company does not expect to make discretionary contributions given the plan’s funded status. During the remainder of 2015, the Company expects to contribute a total of $0.2 million to the post-retirement benefit plan.

	In the first quarter of 2015, the Company granted 90,264 performance-based shares to certain of its employees at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $65.21. The performance shares of 90,264 represent the maximum that can be earned. The number of performance shares that employees ultimately earn will be based on the Company’s achievement of certain specified performance targets in 2015. In 2014, the Company granted 138,800 performance-based shares to employees at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $36.80, of which 116,800 shares were earned.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risks
	Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash investments, accounts receivable and other receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in short-term instruments with high quality financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure in any one financial instrument. The Company pursues amounts and incentives due from vendors in the normal course of business and is often allowed to deduct these amounts and incentives from payments made to vendors.
	A credit review is completed for new customers and ongoing credit evaluations of each customer’s financial condition are performed periodically, with reserves maintained for potential credit losses. Credit limits given to customers are based on a risk assessment of their ability to pay and other factors. Accounts receivable are typically not collateralized, but the Company may require prepayments or other guarantees whenever deemed necessary.
Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective	Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective
	On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. The FASB also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date which is for annual reports beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial statements.
	On June 19, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period: Topic 718 (“ASU 2014-12”). The standard states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-12 on its financial statements.
	On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs: Subtopic 835-30 (“ASU 2015-03”). In order to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than an asset.  ASU 2015-03 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The guidance also requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its financial statements.
