When was the last time you paid under $1.00 to gas up your car? For many customers of Smith’s Food & Drug Stores, the answer is “Today!” thanks to fuel points combined with the current low price of retail fuel in many parts of the country.
“Customers are seeing great prices at the pump that haven’t been seen in years,” said Zane Day, Smith’s vice president of sales and merchandising. “Combine that with all the ways you can save on fuel at Smith’s, and many of our customers are filling their tanks for less than a dollar per gallon at our pumps. Fuel points are one of the ways we say thank you to our loyal customers every day.”
Smith’s currently operates 87 fuel center locations throughout its seven states of operation (Arizona-4; Idaho-4; Montana-3; Nevada-18; New Mexico-16; Utah -41; Wyoming-1) making it easy to take advantage of the additional savings.
