Turkey Hill Kicks Off 50th Birthday Celebration

LANCASTER, Pa. — Turkey Hill Minit Markets is celebrating a milestone: 50 years in the convenience store industry.

To commemorate a half century, Turkey Hill is rolling out a sweepstakes and slew of deals from Aug. 10 through Oct. 4.

During that time, members of Turkey Hill's rewards program will be automatically entered for a chance to win a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4x4, among other weekly prizes like concert tickets, a Sony PlayStation 4, and a 43-inch Vizio Smart TV. Weekly deals include special pricing on items like fountain drinks, slusheys, candy, and coffee.

The retailer will also showcase Caramel Cookie Celebration Premium Ice Cream, a limited-edition ice cream flavor created by Turkey Hill Dairy in honor of the milestone.

"We know that celebrating 50 years in business would be impossible without the enthusiastic support of several generations of customers," said Kim Hertzog, Turkey Hill Minit Market public relations manager. "We encourage everyone to enjoy these specials, sweepstakes, and celebration events as our way of saying 'Thank you' and expressing how much we look forward to serving you for the next 50 years."
