Vons will offer a loyalty card program, the VonsClub card, which gives a discount per gallon on gas purchases. In addition to convenience store and gaming opportunities, Vons will accommodate minor automotive needs. The 2,052-square-foot, six-fuel-pump station and full-service convenience store will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Special savings and values will be offered to customers during the grand opening, including a free Select travel mug giveaway to the first 300 customers, and a free 20-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola with the purchase of eight gallons or more.
Moderator Comment: How big a competitive threat are big box stores (supermarkets, clubs, etc.) with gas pump facilities to convenience/gas stores?
Any competition is a threat and innovation is key to remaining a destination for consumers. Casey's, Sheetz, Clark and others are proving that c/g-stores are not only viable but they have a significant growth upside. [George Anderson - Moderator]
