Pump & Pantry to Acquire 21 Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh C-Stores

Bosselman Pump & Pantry, a fourth-generation fuel and convenience retailer, has entered an agreement to purchase 21 Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh standalone convenience stores, which include five in-store Starbucks and seven in-store Smokey Row coffee shops, the retailer said in a press release sent to NACS. The acquisition is expected to close in July 2026. Pump & Pantry currently operates 48 convenience stores across Nebraska.

The agreement includes 15 locations in the Des Moines, Iowa metro area, two in Davenport, Iowa, one in Marion, Iowa, two in the Omaha, Nebraska metro area and one in Lakeville, Minnesota. 

Following closing, the Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh locations will be rebranded as Pump & Pantry stores and will continue to offer Hy-Vee Fuel Saver redemptions.

The retailer said that current Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh employees at the acquired locations will have the opportunity to transition to employment with Pump & Pantry. In addition, Bosselman staff will host hiring fairs at select locations.

The deal will bring Pump & Pantry’s store count to 69 convenience stores in three states. In addition, Pump & Pantry is expanding Hy-Vee Fuel Saver redemption to all 69 of its locations in the coming months.

“Since 1971, Pump & Pantry has earned the trust of Nebraskans by delivering a reliable, welcoming stop on the road,” said Charlie Bosselman, chief executive officer. “Now we’re bringing that same experience—great fuel options, everyday convenience, and friendly service—to even more communities. We’re energized to aggressively grow our footprint across the Midwest and to welcome new team members and new customers to the Pump & Pantry family. We are also excited to announce our partnership with Starbucks Coffee and Smokey Row Coffee. We think these exceptional brands fit nicely into the hometown experience offered at Pump & Pantry locations.”
