![]() A Fort Worth, Texas-based convenience store chain has just opened one new store in New Mexico and three more in Texas, as part of an overall national growth strategy. Yesway was founded in 2015 and currently has more than 400 stores primarily in the center of the country in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. The latest stores are opening under the company’s Allsup brand in Carlsbad, New Mexico, as well as Claude, Colorado City, and San Angelo, Texas. Allsup, which was launched in Roswell, New Mexico in 1956, was acquired by Yesway in the fall of 2019. On average each of the Allsup outlets feature just over 5,600 square feet of merchandising space, and two dozen fuel pumps. This year alone, the Yesway/Allsup chain has opened some thirty new locations. In a statement, Tom Trkla, chief executive officer of Yesway, said, “We’ve been renovating, rebuilding, and constructing our Allsup’s and Yesway stores at a furious pace this year.” The company earlier announced plans for new stores in Alamogordo and Artesia. Although the Yesway/Allsup store footprint is rapidly growing, it remains behind industry giant 7-Eleven with more than 13,000 stores nationally. According to the publication CSPDaily, the average Yesway store measures around 1,700 square feet; while Allsup stores generally range between 1,000 and 2,500 square feet, although recent outlets have been more than twice that size. Earlier this summer, Yesway announced that it had secured to date more than $642 million in capital to build and remodel its properties. By Garry Boulard
