SunStop and Eat’s Southern Cookin’ are introducing the Feed the Fam – $5 After 5 p.m. meal deal, “designed to provide families with a convenient, affordable and delicious weeknight dinner solution,” the convenience-store chain said.

Eat’s Southern Cookin’ is SunStop’s proprietary food program, selling primarily Southern comfort food, available in some of its stores.

“We know families are looking for value right now,” said Michelle Weckstein, director of food and beverage brands for Bainbridge, Georgia-based SunStop, which is owned by Southwest Georgia Oil Co. Inc. “We’re proud to offer made-from-scratch meals at a price point families can afford. It’s about more than just convenience; it’s about giving families a wholesome option they can feel good about.”

  • Southwest Georgia Oil Co. is No. 88 on CSP’s 2025 Top 202 ranking of U.S. c-store chains by store count.

The meal deal, available Monday through Friday, includes two chicken tenders or two chicken legs served with two sides and a roll. In addition to the standard offering, rotating daily specials include:

  • Hamburger steak
  • Chicken and rice
  • Meatloaf
  • Baked spaghetti
  • Chicken Alfredo
  • Chicken pot pie

Available sides include green beans, collard greens, vegetable of the day, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and tater logs.

All of the meals are made fresh in the stores’ kitchens, “and we’re intentional about the ingredients we use,” Weckstein said.

“Parents can feel good about feeding their kids a home-cooked meal—even when they don’t have time to make it themselves,” she said.

SunStop in September partnered with Legends Hospitality for a Fresh Eats food program at Doak Campbell Stadium, home of the Florida State Seminoles football team. 

The partnership allows people who might not otherwise consider SunStop a chance to try their food, Weckstein said. 

“When they do, they will realize we don’t serve gas station food. We have real food, and it’s really good food,” she said. 

SunStop, which has 81 stores, continues to grow its footprint in Tallahassee, home of Florida State University, currently operating six stores locally with a seventh set to open next year.

RaceTrac enters uncharted territory with its Potbelly acquisition

The Bottom Line: There has never been a purchase of a restaurant chain the size of the sandwich brand Potbelly by a convenience-store chain. History suggests it could be a difficult road.

Wondering about Wonder

Marc Lore's food startup is combining c-stores, restaurants, meal kits and delivery into a single "mealtime platform." Can it be greater than the sum of its parts?

Faster transactions, shorter lines and ease of use drive interest, age-restricted items and technical issues still pose barriers
