About Us

Locally owned and operated since 1956!

ShortStop Convenience Stores are the perfect pit stop to recharge and refuel during long drives. With five locations, we offer a variety of essentials like house-made burritos and sandwiches, chips, snack bars, trail mixes, and bottled drinks, making it easy for travelers to refresh on the go. This small Colorado chain, owned by brothers Tony and Jeff Dageenakis, has multiple locations in Boulder. Their father, John Dageenakis, opened the first ShortStop in Gunbarrel in 1956. Our family-run atmosphere ensures a warm welcome and top-notch service for everyone who steps through our doors.

At ShortStop, we’re here to offer a friendly, safe space for your gas and food stops—an essential part of any road trip. We know how important it is to find a convenient spot to refuel your car and grab a snack to stay alert while driving. Whether you’re a family on vacation, a business traveler, or a student heading off to college, ShortStop is here to give you that extra boost to help you reach your destination safely. Stop by today and enjoy our welcoming service!
