Pump-n-Pantry and Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission Kick-Off Trout Fishing Season

Montrose, Pa., April 7, 2014 /3BL Media/ – CITGO Retailer Pump-n-Pantry is partnering with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) to thank loyal customers and to keep trout anglers coming back. On April 12, the opening day of trout fishing season, 17 Pump-n-Pantry locations in Pennsylvania’s Northern Tier, including four CITGO-branded stations, will offer free fresh-brewed coffee, hot chocolate or cappuccino to each customer who visits the store and displays an official 2014 Pennsylvania fishing license.

“In April, it’s still cold in Pennsylvania, but you’ll see people shoulder-to-shoulder in the streams where we operate chasing the first trout of the season,” said Pump-n-Pantry president Scott Quigg. “This is the first time the PFBC has approached us about this type of promotion and we were excited to help kick-off the season. With support from CITGO, we’re able to offer opportunities for trout anglers to win free fuel during a time when fuel costs are a concern. Anglers are a big part of our customer base. We’re glad to be able to give back to our most loyal patrons and help keep them warm out in those cold waters.”

In addition to a free hot beverage in exchange for proof of a valid Pennsylvania state fishing license, all eligible customers at the four participating Pump-n-Pantry CITGO stations will be entered for a chance to win one of 200 $5 CITGO Gift Cards. To enter, visit any of the following locations:
