CINCINNATI, Jan. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- When was the
last time you paid under $1.00 to gas
up your car?
For many customers of The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) family of
stores, the answer is "Today!" thanks to fuel points combined with
the current low price of retail fuel in many parts of the
country.
"Customers are seeing prices at the pump that we haven't seen in
years," said Mike Donnelly, Kroger's
senior vice president of merchandising. "Combine that with all the
ways you can save on fuel at Kroger, and many of our customers are
filling their tanks for less than a dollar per gallon at our pumps.
Fuel points are one of the ways we say thank you to our loyal
customers every day."
The company currently operates more than 2,000 fuel center
locations in 37 states, making it easy to take advantage of the
additional savings.
