The company donated over $54,000 in 2022 alone to the following local charities, civic organizations, military and veterans groups, and first responders including local police, fire, EMS, and sheriffs’ departments, many of whom were recognized publicly during check presentation ceremonies at new Yesway and Allsup’s store Grand Opening events throughout the year:

“We are grateful to our partners and suppliers for their generous support, and thank them all for joining us in supporting the communities our devoted customers, team members, neighbors, and fans call home,” said Tom Trkla, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Yesway.
