Steve DeSutter, Stripes® Convenience Stores President and CEO will address Temple business leaders and the public on how Stripes® Convenience Stores will be an outstanding neighbor and corporate citizen to the Temple community.
“Temple is an outstanding community.

The Stripes® Convenience Stores representatives have started to build solid relationships throughout the Temple community as the Stripes® Store #2441 joined the Temple Chamber of Commerce as a new member. Leadership from the Temple EDC welcomed Stripes® Convenience Stores as a new addition to the Temple business community.
“The Susser family has made it part of their business culture to invest in communities and Temple is fortunate to be part of their growth.
