Landmark Industries/Timewise
Landmark Industries/Timewise got its start thanks to a fortune cookie. At dinner, the four principals received a fortune that said, “You will do well on your own.” They thought, "Why not?" and bought their first convenience store.
Giant Eagle (GetGo)
Giant Eagle Inc. entered the convenience store business in 2002 when it converted 27 Crossroads stores in Ohio and Pennsylvania to its GetGo brand.
