Those traveling between Amarillo and Canyon on I-27 got a much-needed truck stop in 2022 when Cefco opened its doors at I-27 and FM 2219 in 2022. It was a great addition to the otherwise convenience store desert other than The Station, which was the Eskimo Hut's answer to a convenience store in that area.

Exciting Changes Coming to Amarillo's Convenience Scene

Fast forward to 2024, and it was announced that over 140 Cefcos were purchased by another convenience store chain out of the Midwest. Then, in August 2025, we shared that Casey's General Store was the convenience store that purchased the Cefco on I-27.
