Founded in 1984 by Dan Arnold, Road Ranger began its journey as a small, privately-owned chain of C-Stores, headquartered in Rockford, Illinois. In 2018 Road Ranger was acquired by Enex, a subsidiary of Chile-based Quiñenco S.A, sequentially moving its headquarters to Schaumburg, Illinois in 2021. With a plan for rapid expansion and growth, Road Ranger has set a new standard for travel center innovation, customer convenience, comfort, and safety. 

Road Ranger today stands as the fourth-largest travel center chain in the United States. Road Ranger proudly serves professional drivers, motorists, and travelers throughout the mid-continental United States. Locations can be conveniently found on major highways in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, and Texas. Road Ranger locations offer clean facilities, CAT Scales, well-lit and spacious lots, top-tier gasoline, complimentary customer loyalty programs, dog parks, and a wide variety of high-quality hot food to go. In addition to these offerings, we also provide a variety of quick-service restaurants including Ranger Kitchen, Dan’s Pizza, Tejas Tacos, Wendy’s, Subway, Church's Chicken, Chester's, Cinnabon, Dickie's Barbecue Pit, McDonald's, and Burger King. Our values are consistent from the store to corporate levels - to provide families and professional drivers highway hospitality, clean facilities, fresh quality food, and superior customer service. We believe that our company is made great by our unique culture and an environment in which everyone gives 100% of their talents and professional energies. An environment in which bold ideas are embraced, initiative runs rampant and where providing selfless customer service every day is commonplace.
