U-Pak-It Convenience Stores

Monroe, La.-based chain U-Pak-It increased its store count in late 2019 from 40 to 42. U-Pak-It functions as an independent company where a team of owners reviews operations and advise the stores on how to construct product mix, while each operator is responsible for its profit and loss positions. In addition to pumping fuel, mostly under the Chevron brand, stores carry typical c-store items, such as beverages, snacks, candy, tobacco products, beer, wine and liquor. Some are known to offer basic grocery items and variety of grab-and-go prepared foods.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are year-end 2019.
