At Kent Kwik, we believe in the power of community, and once again you all have proven just how generous West Texas can be. We’re thrilled to announce that, thanks to your incredible support during our recent Round Up for Charity campaign, we were able to donate $111,500 to the Permian Basin Rehab Center (PBRC)!

Every time you visited Kent Kwik in the Permian Basin and chose to round up your total, those few extra cents became part of something much bigger. Your kindness allowed us to contribute a significant amount to a local organization that changes lives every day.

“We’ve had several Team Members and Guests over the years who have been patients of this organization, so we are thrilled to be able to give back to this amazing cause.”
— Meredith Bright, Director of Corporate Communications

We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every person who participated. This donation was made possible only because of you. Your generosity and compassion are what made this happen. We truly could not have done it without you.

At Kent Kwik, we’re proud to be locally owned and operated, and even prouder to serve a community that shows up for each other in such a powerful way.

Thank you, West Texas. Let’s keep doing good, together.

We’re honored to share that The Kent Companies has acquired Whit’s Grocery, a beloved Midland staple that has served the community with heart and hospitality since 1983. Locally owned and deeply cherished, Whit’s has always stood for friendly service, great food, and that unmistakable hometown spirit. It’s more than just a convenience store—it’s a piece of Midland’s community, and we’re beyond grateful to be part of its next chapter.

To the loyal Guests who’ve supported Whit’s over the years: thank you. We know how much this store means to you, and we’re approaching the next chapter with a lot of care and respect. Our goal is to keep what makes Whit’s special while doing our part to serve the community just as it always has.

At Kent Kwik, we believe in the power of community. This year, we’re thrilled to bring back our Round Up for Charity campaign, where a little spare change can create a big impact! When you visit any Kent Kwik Convenience Store, you’ll have the chance to round up your purchase to the nearest dollar—whether at the register or the pump. Every penny goes to an incredible cause: PBRC.

PBRC is more than just a name; it’s a lifeline for kids with disabilities and special needs right here in our community. From physical therapy to speech therapy and other essential services, PBRC helps our neighbors thrive and live fuller, healthier lives.

Last year, thanks to your generosity, we donated a record-breaking $110,000 to PBRC. That’s the largest contribution we’ve ever made to this amazing organization—and it’s all because of you! This year, we’re aiming even higher, and we know we can get there with your help.

The campaign is running now through February 23rd, so there’s plenty of time to make a difference. Every time you round up, you’re showing just how much our community can achieve when we come together.

For our stores outside of the Permian Basin, we are accepting nominations for local non-profits to receive a donation. To be considered, the organizations must be committed to keeping 100% of the proceeds local, and non-profits serving children are preferred. Nominations can be emailed to branddevelopment@kentoil.com.

Let’s start 2025 off with kindness and generosity—one round-up at a time. We can’t wait to see the incredible impact we’ll make together.

Thank you for supporting this cause that’s so close to our hearts!
