Winston-Salem, N.C. (December 22, 2025) — Pine State Development announced today that it will build the Triad’s first Dash In convenience store this year in Kernersville’s Welden Village community. The all-new 5,600-square-foot store is scheduled to open in early 2027 and will operate 24 hours a day.
Dash In is a leading Mid-Atlantic convenience store brand known for redefining customer experience with fresh food, clean, modern locations, and friendly service. In addition to offering high-quality fuel, Dash In stores feature a renowned menu of chef-inspired food options and a wide selection of snacks and beverages. The Kernersville location will also offer several EV charging stations and a Splash In ECO car wash concept, providing an eco-friendly, chemical-free wash experience.
“We’re excited to bring Dash In’s unique blend of quality, convenience, and community connection to Kernersville,” said Justin Mendenhall, Director of Sales & Operations with Pine State Development. “This new location reflects our ongoing commitment to making life more rewarding for our customers, and we can’t wait to welcome our neighbors to the Dash In experience.”
In addition to raising the bar for the convenience store experience, Dash In is actively engaged in the communities it serves. Since 2021, the company has donated more than $1 million in local grants and has served 4.5 million meals since 2016 through a partnership with the No Kid Hungry nonprofit organization.
Earlier this year, Dash In and parent company The Wills Group were recognized for the third consecutive year on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Retail™ List.
“Being named a Best Workplace in Retail for three consecutive years speaks to Dash In’s culture of valuing and investing in team members,” said Mendenhall. “When employees thrive, customers benefit from exceptional service, and that’s what makes Dash In stand out in the communities it serves.”
Based in Maryland, Dash In operates more than 55 convenience stores in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. In March, the company announced its first planned North Carolina location in Charlotte.
