Yesway's IPO Plans Signal Growth for Rural Convenience Store Chain

Yesway, Inc. (YSWY) has filed to raise public capital from an IPO of its Class A common stock, per an S-1 registration statement recently filed with the SEC. The company operates a network of convenience stores mostly in lower-tier and rural markets in the central and southern United States.
