Yesway, a prominent convenience store chain in the United States, has expanded its footprint with the opening of five new Allsup’s locations in Texas and New Mexico. These additions mark a significant milestone in the company’s rapid growth since acquiring Allsup’s Convenience Stores in November 2019.
The new stores in Texas are situated at 2450 Southeast Access Road in Mount Vernon, 9704 Highway 87 in Lubbock, and 100 East US Highway 67 in Keene. In New Mexico, the stores have been established at 8951 Mountain Vista Parkway in Las Cruces and 3075 W Main Street in Farmington.
Each of these stores is a large-format location, covering 6,277 square feet and operating 24/7. Customers can enjoy an extensive product selection, including Allsup’s signature offerings like its “World Famous” burritos, private-label snacks, and fresh essentials such as bread, milk, and eggs. Many locations also feature additional amenities, including beer caves, Western Union services, ATMs, and options for cryptocurrency and digital transactions, ensuring convenience for a diverse range of customer needs.
Thomas Brown, Yesway’s chief real estate officer, emphasized the critical role of the company’s dedicated team in achieving this milestone, stating: “We could not have achieved this swift pace of growth in 2024 without the relentless efforts and exceptional dedication of our talented teams. I extend our heartfelt thanks to every one of them.”
With these latest openings, Yesway now operates 440 stores across nine states, including Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. The stores are branded under both Yesway and Allsup’s, continuing to provide quality products and services to customers in these regions.
Yesway’s growth trajectory has been fueled by substantial investments. In 2023, the company secured $190 million in equity to support its expansion plans, enabling the construction of 28 new stores that year. This followed the addition of 17 stores in 2022, reflecting Yesway’s commitment to scaling its operations and enhancing its offerings.
This latest development underscores Yesway’s strategy to strengthen its presence in key markets and deliver a comprehensive shopping experience that combines convenience, variety, and innovation. By continually investing in new locations and amenities, the company is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of its customers across multiple states.
Once they see how much crime is in NM and that nothing is done about it, they’ll eventually pull up stakes and leave – just like other businesses have done.
This is news?
Perhaps Allsups should focus on some of your older stores and update them. Better refrigeration so the milk isn’t soured before it leaves the store. Have better exhaust so that everything doesn’t smell like the grease the burritos are cooked in. Some stores could use a market in them because the next grocery store is 25 miles away.
There is a new store going up on the edge of Chaparral NM. Not sure if it is in TX or NM as the border between the two states in that area is not well defined. I would guess TX as NM is supposed to be adding a 50 cent gas tax that would hurt the store.
They are updating the older stores as time goes. Some places like Tatum apparently didn’t have the necessary room. But they did work on it. It takes time.
Bucee’s would be BIG news but NM wouldn’t have the working labor force to run one. There have been improvements at some Allsup’s locations but there are some pretty lousy locations. Thankful for those with upgrades and expansions. They do get dirty pretty quick and the new doesn’t last long.
