On this convenient episode of BoomATX Kevin Smartt joins Glenn and Lee to talka bout all things convenient stores, gas stations, quicky marts and filling station. As the CEO of the recently rebranded TXB (Texas Born) convenience store, Kevin has done an incredible job of standing out from the competition.
From their HQ in Spicewood, the TXB crew has created a one of kind convenient shopping experience with high quality fresh food options, a best in class customer loyalty rewards app, great TXB merch, bit coin ATMs, a plethora of gas pumps and EV charging stations and much more.... all in a refreshingly bright and modern retail store.
TXB was reborn out of a rebranding of Kwik Chek convenience stores and with 48 locations across Texas and into Oklahoma they are not exactly a new kid on the block. The vertically integrated concept is quickly changing what it means to be a convenient store with their new stores across Central Texas.
Kevin Smartt, the 2021 Retailer Executive of the Year by Convenience Store News, shares how he acquired the small chain 20+ years ago and built it into what is now the CStore Decisions' 2023 Convenience Store Chain of the Year.
