Description

In 1988, we launched the first of our convenience stores developed and designed exclusively for the large regional shopping mall environment. Our first store and the Company's headquarters are based in Topeka, KS. After building out eight company-owned stores, which include our locations at the Mall of America, Underground Atlanta and many other national tourist destinations in various regions of the country, we began to gain recognition as a national convenience store and geared uniquely for the world of the enclosed malls retail centers.
