(Incorporated in Delaware)
We operate 419 convenience stores in seven states in the the U.S. Southwest and the Midwest under the Yesway and Allsup’s brands.
Yesway is a U.S.-based convenience store operator that has rapidly grown since its inception in 2015. We operate our portfolio primarily under two successful brands, Yesway and Allsup’s. Our sites are differentiated through a leading foodservice offering, featuring Allsup’s famous deep-fried burrito, and a wide variety of high-quality grocery items and private-label products. Our geographic footprint consists of stores located in attractive rural and suburban markets across the Southwest and Midwest, where we often are the convenience retail destination of choice and, effectively, the local grocer. We have a successful track record of growing through new store development and 27 acquisitions and believe we are well-positioned to continue to solidify our market position and grow our store count.
Established in 2015 by Brookwood, a leading real estate-focused private equity firm, Yesway was built from the ground up by a team of seasoned industry veterans who brought decades of expertise and best practices to the convenience retailing industry. By leveraging our deep real estate knowledge and prioritizing data-driven decision-making, we have assembled a portfolio of highly accessible, customer-friendly sites through a combination of new store construction and strategic acquisition activity. This approach has enabled us to expand our portfolio in both existing and new markets, build brand density, and evolve our store formats to better serve our communities.
