History

The original concept was established by Lonnie and Barbara Allsup in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1956, as Lonnie’s Drive-In Grocery. Lonnie, a veteran of the United States Air Force, having served in the Korean War, expanded into a small chain and sold this to 7-11 in 1963. With the earnings of that sale, the Allsup family relocated to Clovis, New Mexico, and began the Allsup's convenience store chain.
Allsup's is known for being the first company to introduce self-serve gas pumps. It is ranked as New Mexico's #1 privately owned corporation, and is the largest convenience store chain in the state.
The original founder, Lonnie Allsup, died in January 2018.
On October 8, 2019 Yesway entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Allsup’s Convenience Stores Inc.
