Savings Oil Co.

Savings Oil Co. owns and operates the Dodge's Stores chain of convenience stores. Known for its unbranded fuel, Dodge's Stores operate in nine southern states and range from 2,000 to 2,800 square feet. Most are noted for monthly food specials, such as chicken fillet biscuits, pizza sticks, spicy wings, JoJo Potatoes, Dodge Favorites, Fried Pies, fast food combos, special family meal deals and wide range of breakfast items. Known for guest satisfaction, honest value and its self-proclaimed "best chicken around," Dodge's Stores (established in 1872) believes in giving back to communities, demonstrated by partnerships forged with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which as of March 2020 had raised more than $2 million.

The chain places a decided focus on beverages, as stores carry a wide selection emphasizing carbonated soft drinks, juices, waters and teas. The company frequently reviews its mix of products_from desserts to gum flavors_all to ensure it remains on the cutting edge of what consumers seek in an always-changing retail environment. Groceries have been cut back in recent years, but stores still carry most commodity items. The chain opted to allocate more space to high-traffic items, such as snacks and packaged beverages.

For benchmarking purposes, store counts are year-end 2019.
