Rutter's Wraps Up #SummerofFreedom Sweeps

YORK, Pa. — One Rutter's Farm Stores customer will be seeing the ultimate savings at the pump as the final winner of the retailer's #SummerofFreedom contest.

Alicia Gotwalt, a Railroad, Pa., resident, is the final winner of free gas for a year in Rutter's summer sweepstakes. In all, there were four grand-prize winners of free gas for year, in addition to thousands of other prizes such as free Rutter's coffee for a year, professional baseball tickets, concert tickets, fuel discounts, and free food and merchandise from Rutter's convenience stores. 

"The 2014 Summer of Freedom promotion was our most successful summer promotion to date. Not only did our customer-focused technology make it easy for customers to participate, it also simplified the way customers redeem the prizes they won for their participation," said Derek Gaskins, Rutter's chief customer officer.

The sweepstakes ran from May 26 through Aug. 31. Grand-prize winners were randomly selected throughout the summer: June 17, July 15, Aug. 19 and Sept. 2.

York-based Rutter's is a family-owned convenience store chain with 60 stores in central Pennsylvania.
