Billy Colemire, vice president of marketing and brand at Stinker Stores, has left the convenience-store chain for another opportunity “elsewhere in the channel.”
Colemire, pictured above at CSP’s2025 Convenience Retailing University event in Nashville, Tennessee, shared in a LinkedIn post Monday night that Feb. 28 was his final day at the Boise, Idaho-based retailer.
“The past 4.5 years have been extremely exciting and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with many talented and esteemed colleagues,” Colemire wrote, in part, on LinkedIn. “Although I’m moving on to a new organization and opportunity, I’ll still be celebrating all of Stinker’s successes, albeit from a different part of this big, beautiful country.”
Colemire said to stay tuned for news on his next move.
At Stinker, Colemire helped develop the proprietary Pete’s Eats and 1936 Coffee Bar programs. He has more than 14 years of experience in the convenience retail space, and has managed multiple categories at companies including Speedway, Kroger and Dash In.
Stinker Stores is a privately owned company that has been serving customers since 1936. Stinker's iconic brand is known by its skunk mascot, Polecat Pete. Stinker Stores had 105 as of Jan. 1, 2024.
