Texas-based Yesway has raised $200,000 to support Texas Hill Country communities impacted by the Independence Day weekend floods—"far surpassing its original fundraising goal,” according to a press release.

"We feel deeply for our fellow Texans in the Texas Hill Country," said Tom Trkla, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Yesway. "We hope these funds will ease immediate hardships and help rebuild these vibrant communities. We are grateful to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country for ensuring these resources go where they can do the most good."

Yesway said it launched the campaign with an initial corporate commitment of $100,000, rallying its network to provide critical relief to neighbors in need. Donations will go to The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country's Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, which is dedicated to addressing urgent needs and supporting long-term recovery.

Trkla continued, "Our heartfelt thanks go to our supplier partners—including Good2Grow—whose generosity amplified this effort. We are equally inspired by our compassionate Yesway and Allsup's customers and employees, who contributed more than $80,000 at our stores across the nine states where we operate."

"On behalf of all of us at Yesway, thank you to everyone who contributed," Trkla concluded. "Your compassion and generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by these floods, and we are honored to stand with the Texas Hill Country during this difficult time."

Last month, NACS Daily reported that Yesway opened four new-to-industry Allsup's stores in the second quarter of 2025. The stores are in Blanchard, Eufaula and Krebs (McAlester), Oklahoma, as well as Los Lunas, New Mexico. With these new openings, Yesway has now completed 86 new stores or major rebuilds over the past four years, it said.

Each of the new, large-format Allsup's locations spans 6,277 square feet and operates 24 hours a day.
