Yesway chair and chief executive officer Thomas Nicholas Trkla said: “Allsup’s founders, Lonnie and Barbara Allsup, were true pioneers, innovators and visionaries of convenience store retailing.

“They were the first to offer customers hot, cooked foods, self-serve gasoline sales and 24-hour service. We could not be more pleased to be joining forces with such a strong, beloved company and talented team of employees.

“We look forward to building on Allsup’s legendary heritage and continuing to offer many of the amazing products and services Allsup’s customers are so passionate about, including – without question – the world-famous Allsup’s Burrito.”

The transaction is currently subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.
