Susser Holdings Provides First Quarter Operating Results Update

Earnings conference call set for 11 a.m. EDT May 8 to discuss complete results

• Same-store merchandise sales up 8.2%

• Average retail fuel volumes per store up 7.2%

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, April 22, 2008 – Susser Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SUSS) said today it expects to report same-store merchandise sales growth for the first quarter of 2008 of approximately 8.2 percent on a reported basis and 8.4 percent on a pro forma basis. Retail average per-store fuel volumes are expected to increase by 7.2 percent on a reported basis and 4.6 percent on a pro forma basis. The pro forma comparisons reflect the combined results of Stripes and Town & Country stores as if Susser had acquired Town & Country Food Stores at the beginning of 2007.

“Despite softer retail sales trends in other parts of the country in the first part of the year, activity in our markets has not been impacted,” said Sam L. Susser, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Company continues to hit key milestones with respect to the integration of Town & Country, and we are pleased with the sales trends we have seen since the transaction closed last November 13^th.

“The strength in oil prices and agricultural commodity prices continues to drive strong overall economic activity throughout Texas, and we are seeing the evidence of that in our stores. Although we remain vigilant in looking for signs of weakness in consumer spending, we feel very good about the strength of the markets where we operate,” Susser said.
