SpeedyQ Markets currently have 19 locations including a car wash - serving the thumb region of Michigan.
SpeedyQ Markets has a long history, and although the company names have changed through the years, the one constant has been the Lawrence family.
In 1962, Claude and Alexa operated the Pengra Oil Company and White Rose gas stations. However, after ten years of operating under this name, they decided to change the name from Pengra Oil to By-Lo Oil Company and rename their stations PDQ Markets. Claude and Alexa were joined by two of their sons, Craig and Charlie, in the family business. In 1977, as the convenience store industry began to grow, they incorporated PDQ Markets.
In 1980, Claude and Alexa sold the business to Craig and Charlie. In 1983, PDQ Markets became SpeedyQ Markets. In 2003, Craig Lawrence became sole owner of the family business, and as history repeats itself, he has recently been joined by his two sons, Kyle and Patrick.
Today, SpeedyQ Markets currently have 19 locations including a car wash - serving the thumb region of Michigan.
