NEW YORK – Fortune magazine’s recent list of the best retail employers includes Wegmans, Publix, Patagonia and two convenience store chains: QuikTrip and Sheetz.

Great Place to Work, the longtime partner for Fortune’s list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, crunched the numbers on workplace fundamentals at U.S. retailers and parsed thousands of employee surveys to create this year’s list of the 10 best large retailers to work for—and the five best small and medium sized ones, all with rave reviews from employees.

For large retail companies, Tulsa, Oklahoma-based QuikTrip came in at No. 5. “There is a serious sense of community and love throughout our QT team!” says one QT employee. “Everyone at any of our stores has great respect for one another, which helps to support our shared desire to be the No. 1 convenience store available!”

Altoona, Pennsylvania-based Sheetz came in at No. 9. “Sheetz employees aren't your typical fast-food or gas station employees. We’re a whole new breed, and that's what makes Sheetz the best,” one employee says. “Sheetz is a beast that not many competitors can shake a stick at, all because of the quality of service that the employees give, and the genuine care and love that we all have for one another.”
