Tri-State Petroleum Corp., a family-owned convenience store operator and wholesale distributor of motor fuels in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, is making the holidays very merry for some of its lucky customers.
The company raffled off a six-foot-tall Christmas stocking filled with games, toys, puzzles and other gifts at 30 of its locations-25 stores and five dealer locations throughout the tri-state region. Customers simply needed to complete an entry form and enter the drawing. Winners were selected on Mon., Dec. 20, 2010.
“We wanted to offer our customers a fun contest to help celebrate this holiday season,” said Sam Covelli, director of retail operations for Tri-State Petroleum. “A giant holiday stocking filled to the brim with fun toys, treats and surprises seemed like the perfect gift to help make the winners’ holidays that much more special.”
This was the second year that Tri-State Petroleum offered its holiday stocking raffle as a way to show appreciation for its customers during the holiday season and all year long. No purchase was necessary to enter the drawing.
Tri-State Petroleum’s stores operate under a host of petroleum brands that include BP, Exxon and Mobil.
