establishment was Westgate Refinery Outlet. The first WESCO Convenience Store
opened in 1978. During the 1980s WESCO acquired Rengo Oil, which in turn doubled
the size of the company. The company continued to grow in the 1990s with the
purchase of Weaver Oil Company. In 2000, WESCO opened it's "Dancin' Donuts" Bakery.
Wesco
is headquartered in Muskegon, Michigan. It's convenience
stores run from Benzonia in the north to Adrian in the south. Some locations
feature a deli that serves pizza and sandwiches.
In late 2006, customers
that used credit cards at WESCO Convenience Stores were subject to identity
theft. This caused credit card companies to reissue hundreds of new cards. |
