Kwik Trip & GasBuddy Host ‘Fuel Up for Freedom’ Event

LA CROSSE, Wis. — Kwik Trip Inc. and GasBuddy are fueling drivers’ July 4th weekend by coming together for a special “Fuel Up for Freedom” GasBuddy Tank Takeover Event.

On June 29, representatives from both companies will surprise Twin Cities drivers who have the free GasBuddy app downloaded and a GasBuddy profile created with upwards of $20 worth of fuel per vehicle.

“At Kwik Trip it is always a pleasure to serve our guests. It will be even more enjoyable to provide some of those guests with free fuel during the holiday weekend!” said Kwik Trip Director of Public Relations John McHugh. “By partnering with GasBuddy and subscribing to Business Pages, we’re able to more effectively put our guests first.”

The exact Tank Takeover location will be revealed on @KwikTrip social media channels at 7 a.m. on June 29. It will then be reposted on @GasBuddy social media channels and in the GasBuddy app.

The GasBuddy “Fuel Up for Freedom” Tank Takeover event is based on GasBuddy’s successful series that have taken place in various cities including Charlotte, N.C., Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego.

“Nothing makes a pit stop more perfect than free gasoline. Our annual GasBuddy Summer Travel survey found that more people will be traveling this 4th of July weekend compared to previous years,” said Mike DiLorenzo, vice president of marketing at GasBuddy. “Gas prices may be low right now, but nothing beats free.”
