More About Gas Station Mystery Shopping

Red/white I am assuming your are referring to the Client .........SPEEDWAY. Speedway exists under the Marathon umbrella. Marathon gas stations do get shop, but I have yet to see any Speedway station get shop.

According to Wipedika----------->"In January 2014, Speedway president Tony Kenney publicly announced that Speedway is committed to adding alternative fuels at its stations, focusing specifically on E85 Ethanol and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). In an interview with Fuels Forward blog, Kenney said "E85 to me is a good answer".[16] "The automobile manufacturers are making flex-fuel vehicles that run on E85, it doesn't void manufacturer warranties; it's been proven effective for a number of years. I think it's a viable alternative in terms of adding renewable fuels into the supply chain." Kenney has also expressed concern for making available E15, a blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline, at Speedway stores. E15 is only approved by the EPA for use in 2000 vehicle models and newer, and some unanswered questions remain in regards to retailer liability."

I have never brought fuel at Speedway but I will if they ever took up mystery shopping I would be gamed. I mention a Client gas station because a MSC is not mentioned.smiling smiley

I did Speedway shops years ago and shortly thereafter they were offered as a route to shoppers with a 5 rating. My rating was just under 5, so I did not get the offer, but my son, who had only done a dozen or so of the shops, did. He did not take the route as he was only visiting with me for a few weeks and this brand did not (and still doesn't) have locations where he lives. I have no idea if they are still shopped or not. Once they went to route shoppers, the shops never showed back up on the board.

Speedway, if indeed that is what the OP is referring to, is the branding of Marathon Oil's company stores. Marathon stations are franchised. I have never shopped Speedway, but I used to go there quite often when I lived in Ohio. The nearest one is an hour from here. There are other gas stations that use red and white. I can think of two others off the top of my head and they are both at Maritz.

Conoco is red and white. They are shopped, in Louisiana at least.

Speedways are mainly in the Midwest. I did a few shops for them in Michigan. But they came and went and never saw them again.
