Operates convenience stores and fuel centers, mainly across the central US Midwest.
Like most convenience chains, it uses fuel to draw drivers in and relies on in-store sales of drinks, snacks and prepared food for the higher margins, while fuel earns a thinner per-gallon return. Many stores sit in small towns, and the company has grown largely by buying existing stores and chains.
Moat: none (scale, distribution). Store network scale helps purchasing/logistics, but convenience retail is fragmented and price-competitive.
