Posted on by kentoil in Community, Uncategorized

On Monday, March 25th, The Kent Companies opened their 47th Kent Kwik location in Haskell, Texas. This location is a full 24/7 travel center and Rustic Cafe. During opening day, a grand opening event was held that featured giveaways, raffle prizes and ribbon cuttings with the Haskell Chamber of Commerce.

Followed by the ribbon cutting was a check presentation to the Haskell Fire Department for the amount of $5,000. Casey Moeller,  Haskell Department Fire Chief, said this money will go towards purchasing new equipment.

Haskell is a new market for Kent Kwik and it is important to show involvement in the community right away. The Kent Companies firmly believes in supporting the communities that support them and this is only the beginning.

Kent Kwik Stores Collecting Donations for PBRC Helping Hands

Posted on by kentoil in Community, news

Now through February 11, 2019, Kent Kwik Stores will be collecting donations for the Permian Basin Rehab Center’s Helping Hands campaign. During the campaign, guests can donate anywhere from $1 to $100 and write their name or the name of a loved one on a hand to be placed inside the participating store.

” Since 1953, the Permian Basin Rehab Center (PBRC) has served thousands of patients of all ages and abilities who find themselves in need. The PBRC is the Permian Basin’s only comprehensive, non-profit, multidisciplinary rehabilitation facility that provides speech, physical, occupational therapy and hearing/audiology services. The therapists of the PBRC reach a broad cross-section of the community and bring positive change into the lives of countless individuals.”

The Kent Companies and Kent Kwik Convenience Stores are proud to support the PBRC and all of the services they provide to people across the Permian Basin. We want to support the people that support us. Our priority when raising money is making sure it goes to an organization that will use it locally. PBRC does that and it warms our hearts to see the people in our community benefiting from the generosity of our guests.

Fuel Your School Returns

Posted on by kentoil in Community, Latest News, news

Kent Kwik Conveniences Stores are thrilled to announce that we will be partnering with Chevron to bring the Fuel Your School back to the Midland/Odessa market.

 

Fuel Your School is a program that helps generate funds for local classroom projects when consumers fuel up at Kent Kwik stations in Midland or Odessa. This is a very popular program that helps teachers get one new classroom project fully funded and greatly impacts our schools.

 

How it works:

During the month of October, $1 will be donated, up to $200,000 to help support public schools when consumers purchase 8 or more gallons of fuel at a local Kent Kwik in Midland or Odessa.

 

Teachers:

Here’s what you need to know to be eligible for Fuel Your School funding:

Create one project requesting up to $1,000 in classroom materials.

The teacher project submission period has changed to September 30 this year. Submit your project as close to this time as possible for the best chance of funding.

Project funding begins Wednesday, October 3, based on the order in which projects were submitted. Once a week, Kent Kwik and Chevron first funds one project per school in your market, Midland and Ector County. Projects will continue to be funded one at a time, on a rotating basis among schools in the same market, while funds last.

 

Please help us reach our goal of $200,000 by fueling up at during the month of October.
