Methodology
For year-over-year benchmarking purposes, CSP’s Top 202 is a list of the largest convenience-store chains ranked by U.S. store count as of Dec. 31, 2019. Any pending sales are not included. Store counts are the total c-stores owned and/or franchised by the retailer.
Gresham Petroleum Co. (No. 125) and 7-Eleven Stores (No. 66) have each been acquired. Both chains are included on the 2020 Top 202 because the date each acquisition closed fell after Dec. 31, 2019. RaceTrac and RaceWay stores have been seperated due to their unique business models.
Note: Because of the tie at 201, the list includes 204 chains. Bonus!
