Tri Star Energy has launched Daily Favorites, a new private-label snack brand now available in all Twice Daily, Sudden Service and Little General convenience stores—and White Bison Coffee shops—across Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee, the company announced Wednesday.

Offerings from Daily Favorites include potato chips in flavors such as jalapeno cheddar, black pepper bacon, crispy dill pickle and spicy hot. The brand also offers beef jerky with flavors such as steakhouse, roasted garlic and Nashville hot, as well as snack cups, gourmet popcorn and chocolate bars in flavors like Milk Churro Crisp, Sea Salt Caramel and Raspberry Crunch. There also is 16-ounce water bottle cases.

  • Tri Star Energy is No. 48 on CSP’s 2025 Top 202 ranking of U.S. c-store chains by store count.

“Daily Favorites lets us put our name on products we want guests to feel good about buying again and again,” said Dawn Boulanger, vice president of marketing at Tri Star Energy, Nashville. “We built this line for real life on the road, with bold flavors and easy options you can grab fast.”

Because Tri Star Energy owns Daily Favorites, it controls what goes into each item and how it shows up on the shelf, the company said. Tri Star Energy said it developed Daily Favorites to fit with the chain’s focus on quality, fast service and a strong in-store food experience.

“We didn’t want ‘more of the same,’” Boulanger said. “We picked flavors people talk about in our towns, from crispy dill pickle to Nashville hot, and we put them in a lineup that works for any stop.”

While Daily Favorites snacks are now available throughout Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee, the company said it expects to continue expanding its lineup over time as it listens to customer feedback and observes which snack trends stick.

Founded in 2000, Tri Star Energy owns Twice Daily, Sudden Service and Little General convenience stores and supplies fuel to wholesale trade channels in 23 states. The company also owns premium coffee brand White Bison Coffee, including locations throughout middle Tennessee and northern and southern Alabama.
