Posted on by kentoil in Latest News, news, Uncategorized

One lucky Kent Kwik or Kent Companies team member will win a 2019 cherry-red Chevy Camaro at the 2020 Kent Companies Awards Banquet. 2018 was the biggest year for The Kent Companies and during the 2019 Annual Awards Banquet, team members were surprised when two cars were driven up to the stage. One car was to be given away that evening, a 2019 Chevy Equinox, and the second, the Camaro, would be given away at 2020 banquet.

As the company grows, so does the appreciation of the everyday team members that keep our stores running. The winner of the Chevy Equinox was Blanco Sotelo who worked for Rustic Cafe for seven years. We can’t wait to see who wins next year’s car!

Bean to Cup Machines Added to 3 Kent Kwik Locations

Posted on by kentoil in Latest News, news, Uncategorized

Schaerer Bean to Cup coffee machines have been added to three Kent Kwik stores. Guests can find them at Kent Kwik 273, 240 TX-302, Kermit, TX 79745; Kent Kwik 316,  4400 W Illinois Ave, MiBean2Cupdland, TX 79703; and Kent Kwik 320, 6101 Andrews Hwy Midland, TX 79706.

Each store has three machines with a house blend, dark blend, Texas Pecan blend and decaf blend. The Bean to Cup machines prompt the guest, on a touchscreen, to first choose whether they want hot or iced coffee, then they pick their size and blend. Once all the selections have been made, the machine fresh grides the beans and brews the cup of coffee right there, on the spot. This ensures guests will receive the freshest cup of coffee. A total game changer to convenience store coffee, guest can now receive coffee shop quality coffee without the price or wait time.

As we see how these machines perform in our three test stores, we hope to expand them to more locations. Keep an eye out for these machines at a Kent Kwik near you.
