Quik Stop Markets

Four gentlemen who worked for a small grocery store in the San Francisco bay area had a vision of opening a chain of convenience stores that could be franchised to individuals who would concentrate on business operations and have the paperwork and accounting processed in a central office. The accounting dept would process the bills and generate financial statements for a small fee. Thus Quik Stop Markets, Inc. was founded and the first office opened in Fremont, CA in 1965. Leon Sayous becomes the first President. Today, Quik Stop is owned by EG Group and operated by EG America out of Westborough, MA. Quik Stop and EG America are committed to delivering a modernized consumer retail experience that exceeds expectations through quality products, excellent customer service, with above all, the most convenience for our valued guests. Through innovative technology, dedication to our Guests’ Experience, and competitive pricing through company partnerships, we remain committed to becoming America’s #1 convenience store destination, coast to coast. EG America also operates several other U.S. based sister-companies, including Cumberland Farms, Certified Oil, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf N Jug, Tom Thumb, Turkey Hill, and Minit Mart. EG America’s parent company is EG Group, located in Blackburn, England. EG Group is the world’s leading independent fuel station and convenience retailer, with a diversified portfolio of sites across eight countries in Europe and North America.
