The retailer is touting its fast pumps and a number of other amenities under the banner of Convenience at the speed of life, including a newly upgraded credit network that provides faster, encrypted credit- and debit-card transactions, no-surcharge ATMs, touchscreen food-order kiosks, lowest-priced cigarettes allowed by law and 93-octane premium gasoline.
