New firm brings dedicated expertise, a national broker network, and full-service infrastructure to the gas and convenience sector.

ATLANTA, GA — Summitrock Partners, a newly formed finance, brokerage, and mergers and acquisitions firm, recently announced its official launch. Purpose-built to serve the fuel retail and convenience industry, Summitrock Partners combines sophisticated financial expertise with on-the-ground brokerage capabilities to deliver end-to-end transaction advisory services for buyers, sellers, and investors across the United States.

The firm was founded by Kolby Jones, who serves as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Jones brings over 20 years’ experience in the space with stops at retailers such as Kum & Go and most recently Yesway. With a deep understanding of the unique financial and operational dynamics of the gas and convenience space, Summitrock Partners is positioned to serve as a trusted partner for business owners and investors seeking expert guidance on acquisitions, divestitures, and strategic transactions.

“The gas and convenience industry is one of the most dynamic and relationship-driven sectors in the country, yet it has historically been underserved by dedicated M&A and brokerage professionals who truly understand its nuances,” said Kolby Jones, Founder and CEO of Summitrock Partners. “Our firm was built from the ground up to fill that gap—bringing institutional-caliber financial analysis, legal rigor, and a coast-to-coast broker network to every deal we touch.”

A Full-Service Platform for the Gas & Convenience Sector

Summitrock Partners launches with a robust internal infrastructure designed to support the full lifecycle of a transaction. The firm’s in-house general counsel provides comprehensive legal oversight and deal structuring expertise, ensuring that every transaction is executed with precision and compliance. The firm’s Senior Director of Capital Markets leads all financial analysis and modeling, delivering deep due diligence and valuation capabilities that give clients a decisive advantage in the market.

Complementing this internal team is a national network of eight experienced brokers strategically located throughout the United States from Atlanta to California, all of whom are focused exclusively on deals within the C-store space and supporting industries. This distributed model enables Summitrock Partners to maintain local market intelligence and relationships while delivering the resources and capabilities of a national firm.
