Enex

Enex is a subsidiary of Chilean conglomerate Quinenco. It closed on its acquisition of Road Ranger for $289 million in November 2018. The deal included Rockford, Ill.-based Road Ranger’s 38 travel centers in Texas, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri and Wisconsin. Road Ranger ranked No. 164 on CSP’s 2018 Top 202 list. Previously, in March 2015, Richmond, Va.-based GPM Investments acquired Road Ranger’s convenience-store assets, consisting of 42 c-stores in Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky. That deal did not include the travel centers.

Enex, a licensee of Shell, has created a network of 454 gas stations in Chile and has promoted a new concept of convenience stores called upa.
