FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Yesway, one of the country's fastest-growing convenience store chains, today celebrates the achievement of a major growth milestone, marked by the opening of its newest Allsup's stores in Ruidoso, New Mexico, and Abilene, Springtown, Snyder, and Whitney, Texas.

In addition to opening five new stores, Yesway has acquired five existing Ranglers stores in the cities of Clifton, Hamilton, and Hico, Texas. With this latest expansion, the Yesway portfolio now includes 435 stores across nine states. The Company plans to open 28 new stores throughout 2023.

The announcement follows a momentous year of growth for Yesway, including the acquisition of the Tres Amigos chain of stores in September 2022, the August 2022 launch of the new Allsup's Express concept store, previously announced openings of new Texas locations of Allsup's stores in Breckenridge, Canyon, Colorado City, Claude, Mineral Wells, Pampa, Rankin, Robert Lee, San Angelo, and Sweetwater, as well as new stores in Altus, Oklahoma, and Alamogordo, Artesia and Carlsbad, New Mexico. Last month, Yesway announced that it had raised $190 million in new equity to fund its continued growth.

Yesway's acquisition of the Ranglers five-store portfolio includes locations at 710 N. Avenue G, Clifton, Texas; 600 N. Rice Street, Hamilton, Texas; 502 W. Main Street, Hamilton, Texas; 301 W. 2^nd Street, Hico, Texas; and 504 N. 2^nd Street, Hico, Texas. While each location will be remodeled and rebranded under either the Yesway or Allsup's banner, the renowned Rangler store look and merchandise selection that customers love will remain on the interior.

The new-to-industry Allsup's stores, located in Texas at 965 Hwy 83 & 84, Abilene; 705 West Highway 199, Springtown; 102 N College Avenue, Snyder, and 900 S. Bosque Street, Whitney; and at 1204 Mechem in Ruidoso, New Mexico, each have 5,630 square feet (with the exception of the Whitney store, which has 6,277 square feet) of merchandising space, between 16 and 24 fueling positions, and high-flow diesel fueling lanes as well.

These are the latest of the new large-format stores Yesway has developed and is rapidly bringing to market. The stores are open 24 hours per day and have customers' favorite Allsup's world-famous burritos available for purchase, along with a full selection of Yesway and Allsup's private label snacks; a trucker/automotive section; high-quality fresh Allsup's bread, milk, and eggs; and a beer cave; as well as amenities including Western Union service, ATM availability, and Coin Cloud digital currency machines offering 30+ digital currencies.

"We're thrilled to begin 2023 with more exciting expansion news to share and look forward to bringing our brand of service and hospitality to more communities," said Tom Trkla, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Yesway. "I am so proud of our team for making this accelerated pace of growth possible."
