Celebrates newly-remodeled Texas locations with grand opening event.

Yesway is celebrating the grand opening of its 35 newly-remodeled Texas-based stores by hosting a multi-city “Yesway Grand Opening Event Tour” starting Friday, May 4 and running through Saturday, May 26.

Yesway team members will be visiting select Yesway locations and treating customers to fun-filled activities, giveaways, music and food sampling. Local first responders, performers from area schools, and representatives from Celsius Fitness Drinks, No Man’s Land Jerky, Monster Energy, ICEE Slush Puppy and Coca-Cola will also be on hand joining in the fun.

Yesway team members will be helping customers sign up for its award-winning “Yesway Rewards” Loyalty Program. Yesway Rewards customers earn “Smiles” for each dollar they spend on fuel or in-side store merchandise and can redeem their “Smiles” for a wide assortment of in-store products, including free fountain drinks, iced tea, Yesway-branded coffee, free roller grill items and candy, and free Yesway fountain travel mugs. Customers will earn their first “Smiles” just by registering for the program and will receive other bonus “Smiles” throughout the year, including on their birthday as part of the “Surprise & Delight” program. Customers can get a loyalty card and sign up for the program at any Yesway store or by downloading the free Yesway Rewards app, available for iPhone and Android.

Brian Trout, Yesway’s senior vice president of operations, said that the Texas-store grand openings mark an exciting time for Yesway. “We are thrilled about the growth of our portfolio in Texas and look forward to serving our local communities and delivering terrific customer service to everyone who visits our stores. We promise to give all of our customers a consistently excellent shopping experience and to make their lives easier and a bit more pleasant every day.”

Yesway’s Chairman and CEO, Thomas Nicholas Trkla, added: “It is our mission to be both an exceptional convenience store retailer and a valued member of the communities we serve. We pledge to make a difference by supporting local citizens and organizations that do the same,” he said. “This goes beyond having well-stocked shelves, serving freshly brewed coffee and an assortment of fresh food, and making sure our stores are always neat and clean. We formally recognize and actively support local charities, civic organizations, first responders, and those who serve or have served in the military – those who make a difference in the lives of others, and who go above and beyond while asking nothing in return.”
