The first-of-its-kind fuel discount program offers drivers nationwide up to $2 off per gallon of gas or $40 in savings per fill up at any ARKO location
RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ARKO Corp. (Nasdaq: ARKO) (“ARKO” or the “Company”), a Fortune 500 company and one of the largest convenience store operators in the United States, and its subsidiary GPM Investments, today has launched its ‘Fueling America’s Future’ campaign, offering customers significant savings at the pump with the long-term goal of slashing gas prices in America. This promotion, which has never been done by any gas station nationwide, can save consumers up to $40 per fill up through the ability to stack discounts earned through qualifying purchases for anyone enrolled in the Company’s free loyalty program, fas REWARDS®.
This campaign is built on the belief that we must do more to address the needs of working Americans, particularly in mitigating the substantial expense of fuel. With thousands of convenience stores and QSR destinations, ARKO has helped lower costs for everyday essentials, from groceries to fuel, through ongoing promotions and value-driven discounts. In 2025, the Company will prioritize price cuts at the pump in its promotions to do its part in fueling America’s future.
“Gas prices are high, and our customers feel it every time they fill up. It’s putting a strain on families, small businesses, and household budgets,” said Arie Kotler, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of ARKO. “We’re in a moment of renewed economic awareness, where businesses have a responsibility to support working Americans. Fueling America’s Future is our way of stepping up, helping to ease that burden, and providing meaningful savings at the pump.”
Fas REWARDS® members are eligible for fuel savings by buying qualifying items and receiving cents off fuel rewards that will go into their “virtual wallet.” These rewards can be stacked, allowing customers to accumulate up to $2 off per gallon subject to state restrictions. In addition, they’ll earn points on qualifying purchases, which can also be redeemed for fuel discounts. This unique offer helps fas REWARDS® members save money at the pump and lower their everyday expenses.
“Fueling America’s Future demonstrates how customer-driven solutions can help lower costs for families, ultimately strengthening the national economy,” continued Kotler. “By reducing fuel prices, we’re putting more money back into consumer pockets and supporting local communities so they can free up spending on other essential goods.”
The above-mentioned promotions are available to enrolled loyalty members across ARKO’s more than 1,350 branded retail stores, including fas mart®, E-Z mart®, Scotchman®, Roadrunner Markets, fastmarket®, village pantry®, Handy Mart and Pride retail stores.
As of 2024, the fas REWARDS® program has approximately 2.3 million enrolled members. Download the free app today to begin saving with better deals. To learn more, visit: www.fasrewards.com.
