WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — Navajo Nation President Nygren has signed a Business Site Lease agreement between the Navajo Nation and Giant Four Corners, LLC doing business as Speedway Convenience Store and Gas Station located in Tohatchi, N.M., supporting continued economic development and essential services for the community.
The lease was approved through the Division of Economic Development (DED) Business Site Lease Approving Committee in accordance with Navajo Nation Business Leasing Regulations. This action authorizes the continued operation of the convenience store, fuel services, and propane sales on Navajo Nation trust land.
Giant Four Corners, LLC has been operating the business since March 2024 under an existing agreement that was set to expire on March 14, 2026. The approval of this new lease ensures there will be no disruption in services and allows the business to continue contributing to the local economy and serving residents in the Tohatchi area.
The agreement establishes a 10-year lease term, with options for two additional five-year renewal terms, subject to Navajo Nation approval and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The lease also provides structured rental payments that benefit the Navajo Nation, beginning at $7,500 annually for the first five years, with scheduled increases during the remaining term.
Located along U.S. Highway 491, the business serves as an important resource for the Tohatchi community and surrounding areas by providing fuel, convenience goods, and essential services for both residents and travelers.
The Fort Defiance Regional Business Development Office recommended approval of the lease after confirming that all required documentation, including environmental clearances and procurement requirements, were completed and that the business remains in good standing.
The approval of this lease reflects the Navajo Nation’s continued commitment to strengthening economic opportunities, supporting local businesses, and ensuring reliable services remain available to communities across the Nation.
