Maverik Names New CEO
Convenience store Maverik has a new chief executive as Crystal Maggelet, chair and CEO of Maverik’s parent company FJ Management Inc. (FJM) has been named to the chain’s top spot. She previously served as interim CEO following the retirement of Chuck Maggelet in May.
Crystal Maggelet has served as CEO at FJM since 2008 and has served on Maverik’s board of directors for 12 years.
According to a report from Convenience Store News, a sister publication of Store Brands, the new CEO plans to build on Chuck Maggelet's wins for the brand while bringing a renewed focus on people, philanthropy, and culture to her leadership of nearly 15,000 team members, the company said.
"She'll continue to amplify Maverik's core values of being a Great Place to Work, a great operator for its customers, and a great growth company," Maverik said in a statement. "She is currently leading the charge to deliver customers an elevated, differentiated, and adventurous c-store experience through the continued growth and integration of Maverik and Kum & Go brands' fuel, foodservice, and in-store product offerings."
In 2023, Maverik and its parent company, FJ Management, acquired Kum & Go and its more than 400 locations across 13 states. The deal allowed the Maverik to expand across 12 western states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
