Convenience store construction in Memphis, IN for Speedway, featuring exterior envelope installation by Construction Ahead USA for durability, performance, and high-traffic environments.
Updated November 2026
National Accounts Division
Not the Memphis in Tennessee.
⠀
This Speedway sits right off I-65 in southern Indiana. We wrapped it over the summer.
⠀
Our scope covered Nichiha® VintageWood, PAC-CLAD® metal panels, and the Mapes® canopies.
⠀
Three scopes, one subcontract, and our own Skilled Tradesmen on all three. Repeat work with GLR, Inc.
⠀
Speedway runs stores in 36 states, all to one spec. We carry our piece of that in-house, so the next store looks the same as the last.
⠀
"Give the customers what they want, when and where they want it."
That line belongs to Joe C. Thompson Jr., founder of 7-Eleven, the company behind every Speedway today.
⠀
Our job is to make sure the building holds up its end of that, whether people pull in for coffee, gas, or a break off the interstate.
⠀
Our skills travel with our GCs.

Historical Notes & Construction Progress
Originally posted February 2026
The 7-Eleven acquisition of Speedway was not cosmetic.
It was about footprint control, purchasing leverage, and standardized rollout across thousands of sites.
That level of scale depends on trades that execute without variance.
We carry the full exterior envelope.
Single scope, Single contract, Single accountable team.
Same installers on both locations.
No drift between markets.
No façade trade stacking.
No management drag.
For national GCs:
Schedule stays intact. Margin stays intact.
Superintendents are not babysitting the exterior.
For manufacturers and regional managers:
Details are followed.
Brand standards are protected.
No warranty noise.
This is how national volume stays profitable.
