The team at Stinker Stores is beyond proud to be named CStore Decisions’ 2025 Chain of the Year! They’ve handed out this honor 36 times… and wouldn’t ya know it, we’ve been around since 1936. Coincidence? Nope. We’ve been built to win since day one—and we just proved it.

Our CEO, Nate Brazier, said it best:

“This award is a celebration of the Stinkin’ Awesome people who make this all happen—our employees, our customers, and the communities we serve.”

Big thanks to our fearless leaders—Nancy and her late husband, Charley Jones—whose grit, gusto, and vision have kept the Stinker flame burning bright. And trust us, we’re just getting warmed up.

Here’s to leveling up every single day. And here’s to keeping it wild, witty, and 100% Stinker.
