C-Store Chain to More Than Double Its Footprint

H&S Energy Products LLC (Orange, Calif.), which operates more than 160 c-store locations in California, has revealed plans to increase its store count to 400 locations within two years, the company said in an emailed announcement, C-Store Dive reports.

H&S operates 55 convenience stores under its own Power Market banner, and the rest under the Chevron, Texaco, Shell and ExtraMile fuel brand.

The company did not detail how much of its planned growth would be via acquisitions versus new-builds. Last year, H&S acquired 46 convenience stores in California via separate transactions with California Retail Management and a privately held retailer.
