Rutter's Names First of Eight Free Gas Winners

And Sunoco rolls out NASCAR decal promo
YORK, Pa. -- Linda Wells of York, Pa., is the first of eight Rutter's Farm Stores customers to win free gasoline for one year in the company's annual summer giveaway. "Fuel Up Free!" runs through August 29.

The company is holding drawings approximately every two weeks, with the next one scheduled for June 21.

During the contest, Rutter's is offering monthly food and beverage specials. Each purchase of a featured item earns a customer one contest entry. The more featured items purchased, the more opportunities to win.

Customers who swipe their Rutter's Rewards [image-nocss] loyalty cards when they purchase the featured items automatically are entered into the drawing. Customers who purchase the featured items without using a Rutter's Rewards card receive an entry form that can be filled out and dropped in a designated box at any Rutter's.

Participating contest sponsors are Coca-Cola, Davis Beverage, Edy's Grand Ice Cream, Glaceau, Jack and Jill Ice Cream, Kunzler & Co., Monster Beverages, Nestle Waters, Pepsi Cola, Pennsylvania Lottery, Red Bull, Rutter's Dairy and S&D Coffee.

Family-owned and third-generation-managed, York-based Rutter's operates 55 convenience stores in York, Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin and Lancaster counties in Pennsylvania.
