Cenex is the energy brand of CHS, inc., based out of Inner Grove Heights, Minnesota, and is a chain of gas stations found throughout the Midwest, Plains, and Mountain states. Most Cenex stations contain convenience stores, while others contain garage bays for car care service, propane, and a car wash. Some locations even contain fast-food restaurants inside them like McDonald's or Taco Bell or Subway (some examples), and ATM machines. Cenex is named after the Farmers Union Central Exchange.
