Stinker Stores is a privately owned, Idaho-based company that has been serving customers since 1936. The brand features a feisty skunk mascot, Polecat Pete, who welcomes customers to its Mountain State locations.

In 2021, the company rolled out its Pete’s Eats Fresh to Go food program and its 1936 coffee bar and a new dispensed beverage program that includes Jarritos Freeze, milkshakes, protein shakes, smoothies and bean-to-cup coffee. It also launched the new Stinker loyalty app. In 2022, the company is rebuilding several locations and is acquiring multiple parcels for new-to-industry sites throughout its territory.

In addition to Stinker c-stores, the Stinker family of companies includes Arrowrock Supply, a tobacco and grocery wholesale distribution company serving Stinker and other retailers throughout Idaho, and Westpoint Transportation, a trucking company specializing in the transportation of motor fuels and petroleum products in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
