Rhodes Convenience Stores Partners with the U.S. Army PaYS Program

Rhodes became a proud partner of the U.S. Army's Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) program during a formal signing ceremony on March 22 held on Southeast Missouri State University's River Campus. Rhodes is now one of only twelve Missouri-based companies in the program. Through the partnership, Rhodes guarantees honorably discharged Soldiers and Army Reservists a job interview and possible employment after their service in the Army.

Rhodes' Founder, Gene Rhodes, proudly served his country before conceiving his company, which now includes 29 convenience stores located throughout Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois. His sacrifice and dedication inspires Rhodes' current generation of leaders to continue supporting those who protect our freedom. Rhodes' support has included a $10,000 donation made to the USO in July 2016 and an additional $5,000 donation made to four local veterans' programs in November 2016.

Rhodes is excited to become a U.S. Army PaYS partner and looks forward to welcoming more soldiers and reservists to its organization.
