MFA Oil Co./Break Time

MFA Oil Co. sells fuel and merchandise at Break Time convenience stores across Missouri. The farmer-owned cooperative acquired its first convenience store in 1981, then expanded rapidly with the addition of stores purchased from Mid-State Oil Co. in 1985.

The chain has a loyalty program called My Time Rewards that delivers points for dollars spent, gasoline gallons purchased and number of store visits. In addition to snacks, beverages and general merchandise, Break Time stores sell its proprietary Anytime Eats sandwiches, as well as corn dogs and Hunt Brothers Pizza, Krispy Krunchy Chicken and Smokestack BarBQ.

The company opened its first public propane autogas fueling dispenser in early 2023 at its Petro-Card 24 site in Lebanon, Missouri. The company delivers propane, fuels and lubricants across an eight-state region from Kansas to Indiana. The c-store chain offers MFA Oil's detergent gasoline. Besides the Break Time convenience stores, MFA Oil operates Big O Tires retail locations in Missouri and Arkansas.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are as of Jan. 1, 2024.
