Convenience Store

Yesway Corporate Office

YesWay was founded in 2015 by Brookwood Financial Partners, a private equity firm, who wanted to acquire, improve, and operate a portfolio of gas stations and convenience stores in the United States.

YesWay operates a chain of convenience stores and gas stations in 9 western states. In October 2019, the company more than tripled the number of locations when it acquired Allsup’s convenience stores.

Current CEO Tom Trkla stated that ultimately, the company would like to have about 600 locations, give or take 100. Currently, with the acquisition of Allsup’s, the company has about 304 locations.

YesWay doesn’t plan on building new stores, but rather, taking over smaller operations, individuals that own 1-5 locations, and then rebranding them.

The company recently expanded its CBD offerings, as well as alkaline water to its clients.

In August 2020, YesWay moved to a larger headquarters building in Fort Worth, Texas.

The company states that Allsup’s headquarters, currently in Clovis, New Mexico, will also be closed and all corporate office buildings will be located in Fort Worth, Texas.

Holiday StationStores Corporate Office

In 1928, brothers Arthur and Alfred Erickson borrowed some money to open a small general store in Centuria, Wisconsin. The brothers tried to get more customers by opening earlier and closing later. Soon, they had a second store in Minnesota.

In 1939, the brothers added gas stations to their stores and gave it the official name of Holiday.

Today, the company employs approximately 8,000 people and has more than 600 locations. This number consists of employees working in stores, fresh food commissaries, distribution facilities, and offices. Holiday has been praised throughout the years by industry leaders for its low-cost, high-profit business model.

Holiday own’s two fresh food commissaries. These commissaries produce a “Holiday Pantry” line of fresh breakfast and lunch sandwiches, burritos, hot snacks, hard-boiled eggs, and muffins. The commissaries also produce the “Fresh Seasons” line of fresh fruit, vegetables, salads, pasta, cold submarine sandwiches, yogurt, and many other food items.

In January 2020, the chain was acquired by the Canadian company Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. Alimentation stated that stores would keep the name of Holiday.

During the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, Holiday Stores opted to pay employees more since they were working in what was considered an essential business.

In May 2022, several dozen drivers complained of receiving “bad” gas from different Holiday Stationstores.

Holiday maintains a corporate office in Bloomington, Minnesota.

GetGo Corporate Office

GetGo began as Cross Roads convenience stores and gas stations throughout the Pennsylvania area. Giant Eagle also had their own gas stations, a few with attached convenience stores, starting in 2001. In 2003, Giant Eagle acquired nearly all the Cross Roads gas stations and convenience stores from Guttman Oil, who owned Cross Roads.

In 2004, Giant Eagle acquired several Shell gas stations in Ohio that were close to Giant Eagle stores. Gas stations and Cross Roads locations were changed to the GetGo names in 2005.

After these acquisitions, GetGo has built the remainder of the company from the ground up, other than the recent acquisition in late 2018 of the 56 Indiana based convenience stores Rickers. Guttman oil still supplies the chain with its gas and oil products.

The company introduced a fuel perks program in 2007 where customers can save ten cents per gallon for every $50 spent. In addition to the food stores and gas stations, some locations also have WetGo car washes.

In May 2019, the company announced that they were going to offer a variety of CBD based products in their Giant Eagle and GetGo locations.

To compete with Amazon, GetGo and Giant Eagle announced that customers would soon be able to take their purchases and walk out the door using the app on their mobile phone for payment.

In 2017, GetGo partnered with Uber Eats to allow for delivery service of their food and drink items. The company currently has 250 GetGo locations in 5 states.

In October 2023, the company announced that it was profitable for the second year in a row with revenue surging by more than 300%.

Headquarters are located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

AMPM Corporate Office

Founded in 1978 by the Atlantic Richfield Corporation, AMPM is a chain of convenience stores most often attached to ARCO or BP gas stations.

BP acquired Atlantic Richfield in 2000. While many locations have changed the name of the gas stations to BP, some retain the ARCO name and logo. The AMPM name remains the same. Convenience stores are mostly franchises with more than 970 locations found mainly in the Western portion of the US.

A key focus of AMPM is its food program. Stores offer fresh coffee, bakery items, fresh sandwiches and hot foods, such as hot dogs and burritos. AMPM offers up to 24 different soda fountain flavors and a condiment bar so customers can top off their nachos or hot dogs with pickles, onions, cheese, and other items.
