The family-owned Tennessee convenience store chain is the 30th winner of this prestigious award for convenience retailing.

Outstanding leadership, great stores and unsurpassed customer service are the hallmarks of the convenience store industry’s exceptional chains. Weigel’s checks each of these boxes and so much more. For decades, the company has been a respected member of the communities it serves, has built a strong foodservice program and has maintained a pristine reputation as a leading employer in the markets it serves.

Following these guiding principles, CStore Decisions (CSD) is proud to celebrate Weigel’s as the 2019 CStore Decisions Chain of the Year. Weigel’s, which succeeds Kwik Trip as Chain of the Year, is the 30th winner of this prestigious award, considered the gold standard in convenience retailing.

“It is such an honor to be selected CSD‘s Convenience Store Chain of the Year from all the great chains operating across this country,” said Bill Weigel, chairman of Weigel’s Inc., a family-owned company that has become synonymous with the Knoxville, Tenn., market. “It’s a tribute to the qualities and legacy this company was founded on 88 years ago, and to the great management and team members we have in our stores today.”
