    Erin Del Conte, editor-in-chief of CStore Decisions speaks with Lindsay Griffith, marketing and community engagement manager for InConvenience Inc, the women-led team behind “The G Spot” (Good Spot and Gas Spot) convenience stores. InConvenience Inc is a relatively new company. The company was founded by CEO Tiffany Fraley. The journey began in 2023. At the time she had 25 stores, but when Mountain Express and SQRL Service Stations LLC went bankrupt, the stores were shuttered overnight. Fraley founded InConvenience Inc in February 2024. The company quickly reopened 15 Iowa stores and began remodels on the company’s Missouri and Arkansas stores. In September 2024, the chain’s first remodel was opened and now the chain is preparing to open its ninth remodel. Today, the chain owns 25 locations, with 20 now open and five more in the works, and many locations set for full remodels.
