The Corner Store name has existed since the early 80's, from driving around Texas during that timeframe. Yes, they rebranded it in the very late 90's, but it has been around for quite a while.pseudo3d wrote:From existing evidence, Diamond Shamrock did the initial start of Corner Store becoming its own brand, where they had a new pentagon-shaped (similar but not identical to Albertsons Express signage) red "Corner Store" signage (without the DS logo on the sign), and under Valero that just became the first Valero Corner Store signage, with the Valero "V" with "cornerstore" written below it.
I suspect the name will continue for a while longer, as will Holiday, because Couche-Tard doesn't seem to be in a big hurry to rebrand, seeing as they are still running stores under Kangaroo, which finalized some time back.
Moderator Note:Let's try to steer the discussion back to Holiday, as that's the thread. If you want to talk about CST, there is another thread for that. It can be found at this link.
