Moe Haris, longtime chief financial officer for West Coast convenience retailer H&S Energy, will resign from the company at the end of this week, Haris announced via LinkedIn on Wednesday.
Orange, California-based H&S hired Haris as a financial controller in 1999, and he became the company's CFO in 2016, according to his LinkedIn bio. His last day will be Jan. 31, according to his announcement.
“This was not an easy decision,” Haris said. “Leaving after nearly three decades is difficult, but it feels like the right time.”
According to his announcement, H&S only had two convenience stores in its network when Haris joined the company. The company now operates around 300 convenience stores across California, Oregon and Nevada under the Power Market, ExtraMile and Pinnacle 365 banners.
“Building the financial foundation, capital structure, and discipline to support that scale, including company-wide debt restructurings and financing major acquisitions such as Tower Energy in 2015 and the Andretti Group in 2024, has been the defining work of my career,” Haris said.
The company’s purchase of Andretti was one of the largest c-store acquisitions in 2024. It added about 170 more convenience stores to H&S’ network and introduced the Pinnacle 365 banner to its portfolio. H&S has since become one of the largest c-store brands in California, alongside 7-Eleven and Circle K.
Haris’ exit comes as H&S continues to expand out West, notably through its Power Market banner. The retailer is also dabbling in new in-store technologies and last year revamped its rewards capabilities.
Representatives from H&S did not respond by press time to comment on Haris’ departure and who his replacement might be.
