Irving Oil, Shaw's Team Up to Expand Gas Discount Program

Customers can earn up to 20 gallons of free gas when buying groceries

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- With more than 7,500 Shaw's Rewards customers saving an average of 24 cents per gallon at Irving Oil during an eight-week pilot, the two companies have announced the start of an expanded monthlong partnership that will provide gasoline discounts with every qualified Shaw's purchase at 57 Shaw's supermarkets and more than 140 Irving locations in Maine and New Hampshire.

This expanded program comes after a pilot program at three Shaw's and six Irving Oil locations in New Hampshire this summer.

The program will [image-nocss] offer discounts from 10 cents to 60 cents off per gallon for every qualified $50-$300 Shaw's purchase through October 4, 2007. Customers can combine the discount coupons up to the price per gallon of gas, and Irving will honor the Shaw's coupons through October 18, 2007.

Everyone buys groceries and everyone buys gasoline. It's a natural partnership to help New Hampshire and Maine shoppers with their family budgets, said Shaw's president, Carl Jablonski.

At Irving, we're committed to finding ways to bring additional value to our customers, says Harry Hadiaris, director of convenience retail for Irving Oil. Teaming up with Shaw's allows us to reward our customers for something they are already doingbuying food for their busy families.

Customers shop at Shaw's with their Shaw's Rewards Card. For every purchase of $50 or higher, a Catalina Coupon valued at 10 cents per gallon, redeemable at an Irving location, will be generated. Customers present their Shaw's Rewards Card and Catalina coupon(s) at Irving to receive the gasoline discounts. For a purchase of $100 or more customers save 20 cents per gallon and the savings grow up to a $300 purchase which results in a savings of 60 cents per gallon.
