On the Run/Wallis Cos.

Wallis Cos. franchises the On the Run convenience brand, a nationally recognized chain of c-stores guided by what it calls the three major components of convenience: “fast, fresh and friendly.” The Wallis Cos. operate On the Run stores in Missouri, offering a wide selection of name-brand products, gourmet coffee and freshly made sandwiches and snacks prepared on-site at the chain’s cafes and bakeries. Other food offerings include doughnuts, pastries, breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, wraps, breakfast taquitos and pizzas.

Units are clean and spacious, with low-level shelving, wide aisles and a centrally placed sales counter and is accented by yellow and blue. Wallis is also a full-service wholesaler of both branded and unbranded fuel, and also offers convenience-store franchise management.
