Yesway Celebrates the 50^th Anniversary of its

World Famous Allsup’s Burrito – “The Legendary OG”

A full year of festivities in honor of its legendary tasty treat kicks off in September

Fort Worth, Texas – September 12, 2023 – Yesway, one of the fastest-growing convenience store operators in the United States, is kicking off a yearlong celebration of the World Famous Allsup’s Burrito in honor of the delectable, deep-fried delight’s 50^th Anniversary. Fans around the world are invited to join Yesway in paying tribute to the legendary OG burrito that has been satisfying taste buds for five decades.

The legend of the Allsup’s burrito started in New Mexico with an appetizing accident when baked burritos made their way into a doughnut fryer in 1974. When Mr. Lonnie Allsup, the chain’s founder, saw that customers could not get enough of the deep-fried, golden, tortilla-wrapped burritos, a classic was born that lives on to this day. Allsup’s was the first convenience store to deep fry a burrito, and it is no exaggeration to say that people love them. Fifty years later, Allsup’s World Famous Burrito is available at all 441 Yesway and Allsup’s stores in nine states: Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. The company sells 27 million burritos each year.

Each and every Allsup’s Beef and Bean Burrito is handmade with slow-cooked beans, beef, cheese, and a special blend of spices, and then wrapped with care. Purists enjoy them, along with Allsup’s Hatch Green Chile and Cheese Burrito and the Allsup’s “Chimi” Chimichanga, topped with Allsup’s Taco Sauce —others prefer ranch dressing, even mustard.

The Allsup’s burrito hasn’t just moved loyal fans to stop in again and again for their favorite savory snack—it’s also inspired at least one love song, by singer-songwriter Aaron LaCombe, “Ode to the Allsup’s Burrito”, and hundreds of thousands of social media posts. Fans celebrate their graduations and proms with photo shoots including Allsup’s World Famous Burritos at their local stores; others have dressed as Allsup’s Burritos for Halloween. Some fans have made the commitment to permanently enshrine their devotion with Allsup’s Burrito tattoos. The deep-fried deliciousness has even made it onto the menu at numerous weddings.

Yesway, the parent company of Allsup’s is proud of the top-quality service each of its team members offers to customers. “It is a foundational principle for our company that Yesway and Allsup’s convenience stores should be more than just a place to grab a quick snack—they should be a vital part of the communities we serve,” said Tom Trkla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yesway. “While Allsup’s World Famous Burritos may be one reason our guests keep coming back, it is the dedicated, friendly team members who greet and serve our guests each day, a number of whom have been part of our team for 25, 35, 40 years and even longer, who are the primary reasons. It is their efforts, and the care they put not only into each Allsup’s Burrito, but into taking care of our customers and communities of which we are most proud.”

To kick off the celebrations of this milestone year, all of the company’s stores are currently featuring a special offer for Yesway and Allsup’s Rewards members, get a Tallsup fountain drink for 50¢ when purchasing two Beef and Bean Burritos. More promotions and events will be announced throughout the coming year.

YESWAY JOINS WITH NACS TO GIVE HIGH FIVES FOR HEROES ON

24/7 DAY AT ALL YESWAY AND ALLSUP’S STORES

Fifth annual event celebrates first responders, medical, and emergency professionals while  raising disaster relief funds for the American Red Cross

(Fort Worth, Texas – July 17, 2023) – Yesway, one of the country’s fastest growing convenience store chains, with stores located in Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, is celebrating hometown heroes and joining more than 30,000 convenience retailers and suppliers across the United States to celebrate 24/7 Day.

Held annually on July 24, 24/7 Day was created to highlight the partnership between first responders, medical, and emergency professionals, and convenience stores. Hosted by the NACS Foundation, the event also helps raise awareness and donations for the Red Cross and spotlights the convenience store industry’s important role in supporting disaster relief and crisis situations.

Convenience stores are community stores: 93% of Americans live within 10 minutes of a convenience store. There are 150,000-plus convenience stores in the United States, and cumulatively, the industry serves approximately 160 million customers per day, sells 80% of the fuel purchased in the country, and donates more than $1 billion a year to charitable causes.

Yesway is supporting this year’s 24/7 Day at its Yesway and Allsup’s store locations by offering a free any size dispensed beverage or coffee, plus a complimentary bag of any 2.75 ounce Yesway Potato Chips, to any firefighters, doctors, nurses, health practitioners, Red Cross volunteers, and 911 professionals in uniform or with a badge* – to thank them for all they do to ensure people do not face disasters alone.

Yesway also encourages community members to take part by sharing real stories and appreciation for hometown heroes on social media using the hashtag #247Day.

“At Yesway, we believe that supporting the communities we serve is essential,” said Tom Trkla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yesway.  “We are proud to join with the NACS Foundation and our colleagues in the convenience store industry to celebrate 24/7 Day. We are thankful for all of those who work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of our fellow citizens and communities every day.  Every community has its share of these truly special individuals, and we want to acknowledge and support them and the excellent work they are doing.  On behalf of everyone at Yesway and Allsup’s, we would like to thank our hometown heroes again in 2023 on 24/7 Day.”

People are impacted by emergencies every day, including the communities that Yesway and Allsup’s serve:

• Every day, nearly 20,000 people receive assistance from the American Red Cross — that’s nearly 1,000 people helped every hour of the day.
• Every Red Cross donation helps change lives, and an average of 90 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in delivering care and comfort to those in need.

“We hope you will join us in supporting the incredible community heroes who work tirelessly to lift up and help others during disasters and other crises,” said Nathan Measom, Director of Cause Marketing for the American Red Cross. “We are grateful for this continued partnership, which is a unique celebration of those on the front line and the stores that support them. Along with the NACS Foundation, we look forward to giving a much deserved and well-earned high five to so many on this fifth 24/7 Day.”

“Just like first responders, convenience stores and their workers provide essential services, while also acting as a reliable and safe hub for members of their community to connect, socialize and share,” said Stephanie Sikorski, Executive Director of the NACS Foundation. “So much of the work that both first responders and convenience store workers do is not seen by the public. This celebration was created to shine a bright light on their service, showing them we see how much they do, and saluting them for their incredible efforts.”

Annual event celebrates first responders, medical and emergency professionals and Red Cross volunteers and raises funds for the American Red Cross

(Fort Worth, Texas – July 8, 2022)– Yesway, one of the country’s fastest growing convenience store chains, with stores located in Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, is celebrating hometown heroes and joining other convenience retailers and suppliers across the United States to celebrate 24/7 Day.
 
Held annually on July 24, 24/7 Day recognizes first responders, medical and emergency professionals, and Red Cross volunteers who work to serve their communities around the clock. The annual event, hosted by the NACS Foundation, helps raise awareness and donations for the urgent humanitarian needs of the Red Cross and spotlights the convenience store industry’s important role in supporting hometown heroes.
 
Convenience stores are essential community stores. 93% of Americans live within 10 minutes of one of America’s 148,000-plus convenience stores. Cumulatively, the industry serves approximately 165 million customers per day, sells 80% of the fuel purchased in the country, and donates more than $1 billion a year to charitable causes.
 
Yesway is supporting this year’s 24/7 Day at its Yesway and Allsup’s store locations by offering a free any size dispensed beverage and a Core 30.4 oz. water for $1.00 to police, fire, EMTs, doctors, nurses, health practitioners, Red Cross volunteers, and 911 professionals in uniform or with a badge on Sunday, July 24, 2022.
 
Yesway also encourages community members to take part in this day by sharing real stories and appreciation for hometown heroes on social media using the hashtag #WeHeartHeroes.
 
“At Yesway, we believe that we have a duty to support the communities we serve,” said Tom Trkla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yesway. “We are proud to join with the NACS Foundation and our c-store industry colleagues to celebrate 24/7 Day. We are grateful for all of those who work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of our fellow citizens and communities every day. Every community has its share of these true difference makers, and we want to acknowledge and support them and the terrific work they are doing. On behalf of everyone at Yesway and Allsup’s, we would like to thank our hometown heroes on 24/7 Day 2022.”
 
People are impacted by emergencies every day, including the communities that Yesway and Allsup’s serve:

• On average, more than 30,000 people a day receive assistance from the Red Cross, whether they need lifesaving blood, relief after a disaster, support with the challenges of military life, training in skills that save lives, or international humanitarian aid.
• Every Red Cross donation helps change lives, and an average of 90 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in delivering care and comfort to those in need.

 
“Each day, families rely on community heroes for support during disasters and other crises,” said Don Herring, chief development officer for the American Red Cross. “That’s why we are grateful for this partnership to help ensure people don’t face emergencies alone. We hope others will join us on 24/7 Day, along with the NACS Foundation, to support this work and to thank our local heroes who help when it’s needed most.”
 
“The NACS Foundation is proud to partner with Yesway/Allsup’s to support the American Red Cross, its volunteers and the first responders who support our communities every day,” said Stephanie Sikorski, executive director of the NACS Foundation.
 
“Convenience stores are the first supporters to first responders, serving as the only locations that remain open in a crisis to ensure fuel, food and other necessities are available for emergency workers and customers as they return to normalcy,” said Sikorski, “That’s why the NACS Foundation honors first responders and is committed to amplifying our industry’s reach and impact of its charitable efforts in the communities they serve, 24/7.”
