Acee's Neighborhood Market & Deli, a Paducah, Kentucky-based company, has rebranded three former Winks convenience stores in Cape Girardeau County under the "Winks by Acee's" name.
The stores were acquired by Acee's in 2021 but maintained the Winks identifier until early February when store signage was changed.
Winks took its name from Bud Winkler from whom Kevin Stanfield purchased the outlets more than 30 years ago.
Stanfield's family continues to own My Daddy's Cheesecake under the corporate name River City Desserts LLC.
The Acee's branding may be found on the following Winks outlets.
Acee's has five other convenience store operations, one in Western Kentucky and four in Southern Illinois. The company also owns and operates two restaurants — a Huddle House and a Quiznos sandwich shop — both in Metropolis, Illinois.
