ROUND ROCK, Texas -- Wayne Fueling Systems, a global provider of fuel dispensing, payment, automation, and control technologies for retail and commercial gas stations, is joining convenience-store retailer 7-Eleven in inviting the Central Texas community to a commemoration event in Round Rock on April 2, 2015.
The occasion at the 7-Eleven store will celebrate the recent installation of Wayne OvationTM2 fuel dispensers. The 7-Eleven c-store and gas station is located less than two miles from Wayne's corporate headquarters in Austin, Texas, and Wayne considers the station to be its "flagship fueling site."
"The 7-Eleven location near Wayne's campus is a great fit for our flagship fueling site," Wayne CEO Neil Thomas said. "It makes us extremely proud that 7-Eleven has chosen to showcase our fuel pumps at the gas station near our corporate headquarters."
"We want our guests to have a fast and easy fueling experience. And that's what the Ovation2 dispenser helps to offer," 7-Eleven director of gasoline environmental compliance and remediation Ron Fulencheck said. "It's been a pleasure working with Wayne on this project, and we look forward to working with them in the future."
The day's festivities will include a gasoline discount and in-store specials. Wayne will be sponsoring a discount of the 87-octane fuel for the first 100 guests at the 7-Eleven site from 10:00 a.m. to noon on April 2. The reduced cost will be $1.49 per gallon for cars, SUVs, pickup trucks or motorcycles (maximum 30 gallons and no outside containers allowed).
Additionally and compliments of 7-Eleven, customers will receive a free Big Gulp fountain soft drink, coffee or Slurpee beverage with the purchase of any hot food, cold sandwich or bakery item throughout the day.
"There has been an increase of Wayne employees stopping into my station since we've installed the Wayne equipment," 7-Eleven franchisee Phuong Duong said. "I'm looking forward to getting the word out about this day's promotion to bring even more guests to the site."
Wayne's Thomas and Bill Reichhold, vice president for North America, along with 7-Eleven's Fulenchek and Bentley Tison, vice president of gasoline operations, will hold a brief press conference ahead of the event.
Wayne is one of the world's largest suppliers of fuel dispensers, payment terminals, forecourt control devices, point-of-sale (POS) and other measurement and control solutions to the retail and commercial fueling industry.
