Convenience Store News reports on several convenience store chains utilizing Twitter and Facebook to bring in customers. Quick Chek is offering a free iced coffee to all its Facebook fans when the chain attains its goal of reaching 1,500 fans. Meanwhile Kum & Go, a conenience store chain in Iowa, launched what it is calling "Twitter Tuesdays." Starting this past Tuesday and going until June 23, the convenience store chain each Tuesday will select one Des Moines-area Kum & Go location as the "Secret Store." From 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., one clue per hour will be given out via Twitter to direct Kum & Go followers to the secret store.
CSNews Online, Shell Oil Co. and Chevron Corp. plan for the first time, to post hurricane season updates via Twitter this year.
Other convenience retailers with a presence on Twitter include: BP America, Wawa, Cumberland Farms, Gulf Oil, QuikTrip, Piedmont Petroleum and Express Convenience.
It is very refreshing to see convenience stores utilizing social media in such imaginative and useful ways. If only all companies could figure this out.
