RICHMOND, Va. — GPM Investments LLC has taken ownership of the Riiser chain of 63 convenience stores in Wisconsin from Riiser Fuels LLC. This acquisition, announced in September, brings brands including RStore, Mad Max, Baltus and Jetz into the GPM fold and marks the company’s entry into Wisconsin.

We’d also like to welcome the Riiser, Baltus, Mad Max and Jetz associates to the GPM family of brands.”
