HUTCHINSON, Kan. — More than a year after purchasing much of the Pic Quik stores in Hutchinson, Iowa based Yesway has started the transformation. The Yesway on E. 30th has undergone the full transformation from Pic Quik red, to Yesway green. The changes will continue for the other stores that were purchased from Dan and Deb Fast in March of 2017.

Yesway bought all locations except the one on South Main from the Fast who owned that Pic Quik since 1982. The company has also purchased the Cheney based Kaps Convenience stores from owner Kevin O’Brien, who now runs O’Brien’s Marina at Cheney Reservoir.

Yesway is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. The two Kansas purchases were part of a plan for the company during the next several years to acquire and rebrand 500 convenience stores in selected regions of the United States.
