Phoenix and Denver residents have more to be 'tank'ful for this holiday driving season
BOSTON (Nov 1, 2016) – November marks the beginning of heavy holiday travel when millions of people will hit the road to visit loved ones. GasBuddy, the technology company changing the way consumers find, purchase and save money on gasoline, is partnering with Corner Store, one of the largest independent retailers of motor fuels and convenience merchandise in North America, to celebrate the start of the season by giving away thousands of gallons of free gas to consumers in various cities across the country.
Corner Store and GasBuddy have come together to launch ‘Tanks’giving, where brand representatives from both companies will surprise drivers who have the free GasBuddy app downloaded and a GasBuddy profile created with upwards of $20 worth of fuel per vehicle at select Corner Store locations. The first ‘Tanks’giving event will be in Phoenix, Ariz. on November 2, with Denver, Colo. to follow.
“Millions of Americans are making plans this month to visit friends and family,” said Walt Doyle, CEO of GasBuddy. “Corner Store and GasBuddy share a commitment to helping people on the road, whether it is fueling up the car or getting a good cup of coffee. This is why we are excited to work together and make this travel season as easy and enjoyable as possible.”
Corner Store and GasBuddy partnered last month and gave away free gas to over 150 residents in Houston, Texas.
“Corner Store is excited to team with GasBuddy on this ‘Tanks’giving event” said Peter Brodnitz, VP of Marketing for Corner Store. “With GasBuddy, we will be able to help our loyal Corner Store customers fill up on fuel during the holiday season, and we also look forward to delighting them in our stores with our fresh and friendly offerings.”
GasBuddy recently rebranded and launched a redesigned app with new station rating features and enhanced search filters to offer drivers even more than just finding low fuel prices while on the road.
