We have moved some of our branded gasoline locations to our own Short Stop brand of gasoline. This purpose is to help us sell gas at a cheaper retail than the name brands. At the same time, we have updated our logo to reflect our move towards the future. We have taken a hard look at what we need to do at store level to continue to grow our business. By the end of 2009 we will have all 56 locations using our new scanning system registers. All stores by the end of 2009 will have also been updated with the new passports registers.

Most schools where there is a Short Stop have received this money.
