Town Pump, Inc. is a Butte, Montana-based chain of convenience stores, truck stops, casinos and roadside hotels founded in Butte in 1953. From a single full‑service gas station, the Kenneally family has expanded the company to more than 200 sites and 3,800 employees statewide.[1][2]
National business media have profiled Town Pump's strategy of pairing travel‑plaza fuel sales with franchised hotels along Interstates I‑90, I‑15 and I‑94.[3] The firm also maintains a high public profile through its Town Pump Charitable Foundation, which has raised more than US$52 million for the state's food banks since 2001.[4]
