Fastrip

Fastrip is an independent convenience store and fuel retailer based in Bakersfield, California. The company began in 1979 with a single location and has since grown into a regional operator with a network of 50 stores as of November 2025. Most Fastrip locations are found in Central and Southern California, with a steadily increasing presence in the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas of Arizona.

Over the past five years, Fastrip has focused on expanding through both new store development and site acquisitions, especially in infill locations and underserved suburban neighborhoods. This approach has included several recent ground-up builds and major remodels, reflecting the company’s ongoing investment in its physical footprint. Fastrip’s stores typically combine fuel service with a full-line convenience offering, including hot food, beverages, and essential groceries. Many locations also feature car wash services, catering to a broad range of everyday needs.

The company remains privately owned and operates without franchise or parent company affiliations, maintaining a strong regional identity. Fastrip’s growth posture is evident in its active search for high-traffic sites in communities with strong neighborhood characteristics. Its flexible store formats and consistent performance have made it a reliable anchor or co-tenant for retail centers and highway-adjacent parcels. As Fastrip continues to invest in new locations and upgrades, it has established itself as a credible and stable operator with deep local market expertise.
