FiveStar

FiveStar, established in 1924 as J.C. Newcomb Agent by John Cyrus Newcomb, began as a fuel distributor for Gulf Refining Company. Initially serving homes, farms, and country stores, the company transitioned to J.C. Newcomb & Son in 1946. The 1960s marked the expansion into service stations, followed by convenience stores in the 1970s, operated by contracted dealers. In 1980, it became Newcomb Oil Co. and launched its own convenience store brand, FiveStar. Today, the family-owned business remains under the stewardship of the Newcomb family.

Currently, FiveStar operates over 80 FiveStar convenience stores across more than 30 counties in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, supported by approximately 1,400 employees. This robust operational network includes Cyrus Transport, a wholly-owned subsidiary. For detailed information on the leadership and personnel behind its success, one can Meet FiveStar's team.
