The Kent Companies Expands The Kent Kwik Brand With Acquisition of Whit’s Grocery

Weโ€™re honored to share that The Kent Companies has acquired Whitโ€™s Grocery, a beloved Midland staple that has served the community with heart and hospitality since 1983. Locally owned and deeply cherished, Whitโ€™s has always stood for friendly service, great food, and that unmistakable hometown spirit. Itโ€™s more than just a convenience storeโ€”itโ€™s a piece of Midlandโ€™s community, and weโ€™re beyond grateful to be part of its next chapter.

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


Let’s Round Up for Charity in 2025!

At Kent Kwik, we believe in the power of community. This year, weโ€™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, youโ€™ll have the chance to round up your purchase to the nearest dollarโ€”whether at the register or the pump. Every penny goes to an incredible cause: PBRC.

PBRC is more than just a name; itโ€™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. Thatโ€™s the largest contribution weโ€™ve ever made to this amazing organizationโ€”and itโ€™s all because of you! This year, weโ€™re aiming even higher, and we know we can get there with your help.

The campaign is running now through February 23rd, so thereโ€™s plenty of time to make a difference. Every time you round up, youโ€™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.

Letโ€™s start 2025 off with kindness and generosityโ€”one round-up at a time. We canโ€™t wait to see the incredible impact weโ€™ll make together.

Thank you for supporting this cause thatโ€™s so close to our hearts!

Whether youโ€™re hitting the road to visit family, working a holiday shift, or just hiding from kitchen chaos, weโ€™ve got your back with a free steaming cup of caffeinated gratitude.

Stop By and Perk Up

No strings attached, no fine printโ€”just free, fresh coffee at every Kent Kwik location. Come in your stretchy pants or your Sunday best; we donโ€™t judge. All we ask is that you let us brighten your Thanksgiving with a free cup of coffee, any size.

Free Coffee – A Tradition That Keeps on Giving

We’ve been serving free coffee on Thanksgiving for years, and weโ€™re not stopping anytime soon. Why? Because nothing pairs better with holiday road trips, awkward family conversations, or an early Black Friday game plan than a perfectly brewed cup of coffee.

So, as you plan your Thanksgiving Day, add a Kent Kwik coffee stop to your list. Itโ€™s the easiest decision youโ€™ll make all day. From all of us at Kent Kwik, Happy Thanksgiving! Weโ€™re thankful for youโ€”and weโ€™ll prove it one free coffee at a time.
