Sam Anabi, the founder of Anabi Oil, called Green Valley Grocery a “cornerstone of Las Vegas for nearly 50 years.”
“We are honored to carry that legacy forward,” Anabi said. “This acquisition is about our long-term commitment to Nevada: keeping the Green Valley Grocery name alive, strengthening Rebel’s place in the community, and continuing to invest in the future of convenience for the families and neighborhoods we serve.”
The release detailed Green Valley Grocery’s origin, founded by Rick Crawford in 1978 after a visit to Las Vegas to cover shifts at 7-Eleven stores for workers who were leaving to serve in the National Guard.

“When I first came to Las Vegas in the 1970s, I saw so much potential, and I’m glad to say that I was right,” Crawford said. “Nevada is a state made for small business growth. This is an amazing city, and a wonderful community, and I’m fortunate to have been able to begin and run a business that has been a part of so many Las Vegans’ lives.”
The sale is pending customary approvals, and according to the release, Green Valley Grocery “will continue to celebrate the legacy of Crawford and further grow its commitment to the Las Vegas community.”
