A South Carolina company bags the convenience store chain Wag-A-Bag in Round Rock.
Refuel Operating Co. LLC, based in Charleston, South Carolina, announced on May 5 that it had agreed to purchase Wag-A-Bag LLC for an undisclosed amount. Wag-A-Bag, founded in 1964 by the Rabb family, owns and operates 16 convenience stores in the Austin area.
“I am delighted that my family’s business is in good hands with Refuel and that my employees have a bright future with a growing company,” says Cary Rabb, CEO of Wag-A-Bag. “I am confident that Refuel will continue to provide our customers with a first class experience with our first class people. This is a tremendous opportunity for everyone as Austin and Central Texas continue to grow. “
The Wag-A-Bag stores will eventually be renamed Refuel stores; the Rabb family kept the name Wag-A-Bag. The deal will bring Refuel’s number of proprietary stores to 130.
“The Rabb family have built a great company over the years and built a reputation for providing their customers with incredible customer service and a great shopping experience,” said Mark Jordan, CEO of Refuel.
The original Wag-A-Bag opened 57 years ago at 701 E. Palm Valley Blvd. in Round Rock, which at that time had about 1,800 inhabitants. Virg and Nancy Rabb founded the company, which now has stores in Round Rock, Hutto, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Liberty Hill and Austin.
