CSA to Award Trip to One C-Store Owner for Switching to Core-Mark

Retailers can double chances of winning during first-quarter 2016

NORMAN, Okla. -- Convenience Store Alliance (CSA) has announced a new promotion featuring an all-inclusive vacation for two to the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos resort in Cabo San Lucas, airfare included.

Convenience Store Alliance (CSA) Core-Mark

From now through March 31, convenience stores that convert all grocery and tobacco purchases to CSA’s national Core-Mark program will get two entries into the trip-giveaway drawing. Stores that convert from April 1 through June 30 will receive one entry.

“We know it’s a big decision to switch grocery suppliers,” said CSA president and CEO Mike Lawson. “So we’re offering the getaway as extra incentive to an already-lucrative chain-store deal. The odds are definitely worth betting on, but even the owners who don’t win the trip will still be taking their savings to the bank from the national chain store deal.”

He added, “The odds of winning the trip will be about one in 200. But the odds of saving something with CSA is still 100%. Our Core-Mark customers save enough money to take their entire families on vacations for years to come.”

In order to qualify, stores must still be in Core-Mark’s database, actively purchasing through CSA’s national account at the time of the drawing.

Norman, Okla.-based Convenience Store Alliance (CSA) helps independent convenience-store operators nationwide to compete with large chain stores. CSA gives storeowners access to reduced costs on high-quality products, valuable resources to boost business efficiency, and solutions for business growth. For the western half of the United States, CSA is the Phillips 66 Branded Retailer Buying Program and is available to more than 7,000 branded sites that currently sell Phillips 66, Conoco or 76 branded gasoline. Dealers and fuel distributors outside the exclusive territories are also eligible to participate, regardless of brand affiliation.
