Texas Allsup's stores change hands

Nine Allsup’s convenience stores in Texas have been sold to a company in Georgia, according to a report in the Iowa Park (Texas) Leader newspaper.

Allsup’s officials at the company’s headquarters in Clovis have not returned multiple calls requesting information. But city officials said Tuesday no applications for new business licenses connected to the potential sale of any Allsup’s store in Clovis have been filed.

Allsup’s founder Lonnie Allsup died in 2018, leaving a legacy that includes more than 300 stores, with 3,000 employees, in about 160 communities throughout Texas and New Mexico.

The Iowa Park newspaper reported its store and eight others in Texas would be operated as Hop-In.

Other Allsup’s changing hands are located in Vernon and Brownfield, Texas.

Cheryl Elmore, the manager of two Allsup’s stores in Brownfield, posted about store changes on her Facebook page earlier this month.

“Hop-In is honestly and genuinely all about their customers!!” she wrote. “As things settle down, this community will see what great things are to come.”

The Iowa Park newspaper reported Majors Management, LLC, Marvin Hewatt Enterprises Inc. in Lawrenceville, Ga., had purchased the Allsup’s stores.

A woman who spoke on behalf of Majors Management said Tuesday that a press release would be issued soon, but declined additional comment.
