E-Z Mart Stores, Inc.
 PROFILE
In 1970, when small-town America closed at 6 p.m., E-Z Mart Stores founder Jim Yates kept his first convenience store in Ashdown, Arkansas, open until 11. The company rode the wave of convenience store growth, adding more than 85 locations in Arkansas and Oklahoma in 1999 alone. It now boasts about 510 outlets across five southern states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas). E-Z Mart prefers to expand through acquisitions, thus eliminating building costs and competitors in one stroke. Yates died in late 1998 when the plane he was piloting crashed, leaving his daughter Sonja Hubbard at the company's helm as CEO.
