Release Date: April 19, 2011
SAINT JOHN, NB — The popular gas savings program between Irving Oil and Sobeys is back. Beginning Wednesday, April 20, customers can once again earn cents off per-litre coupons at all 83 Sobeys locations in Atlantic Canada.
The new program will run until July 3 and coupons can be redeemed at participating Irving or Fast Fuel locations throughout Atlantic Canada until July 17.
“Now that we finally have winter behind us, we’re thrilled to welcome warmer weather with another round of our savings program with Sobeys,” said Irving spokesperson, Liza Dube.
With a minimum $50 grocery purchase, Sobeys shoppers will automatically receive a paper coupon for per-litre fuel savings. With a grocery purchase of $250 or more, customers will receive a coupon for 9 cents off per litre. Coupons can be redeemed individually or be combined to increase the savings when filling up at Irving.
After a three week hiatus in the program, Irving and Sobeys are pleased to bring it back just in time for the spring weather.
“With spring here and people driving more, customers are telling us a gas savings program is more important than ever,” said Dave MacNeil, Director of Marketing, Sobeys Atlantic. “The re-launch of the program is one more way that Sobeys delivers ‘Great Prices PLUS’ the best food shopping experience in Atlantic Canada.”
