Question:
Where does QuikTrip get its gasoline?

Answer:
QuikTrip is an American-owned, privately held company with a 50-year history in the convenience store/gasoline retail industry. The gasoline and diesel fuel we offer to our customers is purchased from various refineries all located in the U.S.

There have recently been a number of questions raised about whether QuikTrip buys gasoline from Middle Eastern or South American countries. We do not purchase any crude oil or have any influence on the purchasing decisions made by the companies who own the refineries.

As an independent marketer, we do not operate any pipelines or terminals; we are strictly a retailer of quality motor fuels and convenience items to consumers in our markets.

All gasoline marketers in the United States get their gasoline from various terminals in their cities. This gasoline has been mixed in pipelines with gasoline from a number of refineries. Although we may purchase our gasoline from a specific refiner, the gasoline we actually pull out of the pipeline is really generic. Even retail outlets of major oil companies end up drawing their gasoline out of the same pipeline as everyone else.

QuikTrip is a privately held corporation and does not sell stock publicly.  Being a privately held company allows us to focus on operating our stores in the most effective manner and not be concerned about investors seeking short-term results.  Almost half of QuikTrip's stock is held by QuikTrip employees, either directly or through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan or our Profit Sharing/401k plan.  Most of the remainder is controlled by QuikTrip's Chairman and by the President/CEO.
