Resort Retailers – A Utah Family Run Business
Resort Retailers is a family-based business that has been operating 7-Eleven convenience stores for 26 years. Dan Slaugh, the President, says the chain began in 1988 with five stores in the Park City and Heber City area. Over time, the number of stores increased to nine in that area. In 2013, it purchased the four convenience stores owned by Walkers in Moab, including stores in Moab, Kanab, Hurricane, and Heber. The latest acquisition includes five more stores from Black Oil in southern Utah.
