Doesn't look like this meets WP:NCORP. Very small convenience store chain. It apparently had more locations at one time, but infobox says just one left now. The article hasn't been updated to match (still says it operated in 15 counties). Most of the article is unsourced, two of the three sources are DLs and probably didn't contribute to notability. The one working source does not mention subject. I get a timeout trying to access the website. Searching turns up a few newspaper articles on store closings. This seems to have been a minor operation of parent Shipley Energy, which itself is poorly sourced. There is some history that could be merged if it were cited; this should redirect instead for now (Shipley Energy has been has been tagged since 2013 and might not survive if it was AFD'ed).

• Delete: Seems like it fails WP:GNG. I could be incorrect there but even then, this seems like WP:MILL and I'm not sure if it's worth keeping. — BriefEdits (talk) 20:33, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Redirect to Shipley Energy for now. Seems pretty clear there is insufficient coverage for a standalone article, and I don't see much worth merging. I agree with MB that Shipley Energy might also not survive AFD, but that bridge may be crossed at the appropriate time.--Mojo Hand (talk) 14:41, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
