Family Fare Opens New Quick Stop Fuel/Convenience Center

JENISON, Mich. -- Today's opening of the Family Fare Quick Stop Fuel and Convenience Center here means that customers can now combine their fuel stops with grocery shopping at the adjacent Family Fare Supermarket, plus get a break on their gas purchases.

The new Family Fare Quick Stop stocks bread, milk and other food and beverage items, including deli sandwiches and doughnuts made in the adjacent supermarket. Quick Stop customers will be offered various promotions and discounts to be redeemed at Family Fare supermarkets.

"We're excited about the opportunity this Family Fare Quick Stop brings to the community and our Family Fare customers," said Ted Adornato, executive vice president of retail operations. "Offering convenience and service is important to today's consumers and central to our commitment to being a neighborhood supermarket."

Family Fare customers can also take advantage of additional savings. For example, customers who make a $50 supermarket purchase receive a coupon for 10 cents off per gallon of fuel. "In this economy, it's important for us to help consumers save every penny they can," Adornato said. "Additional grand-opening offers will be offered during later weeks."

Spartan Stores owns and operates 17 Family Fare Quick Stops locations throughout western Michigan, and 36 Family Fare supermarkets.

This Family Fare Quick Stop development is part of Spartan Stores' $6 million investment in the overall facility. Supermarket renovations will include state-of-the-art produce, bakery and deli departments, which not only will be appealing and convenient for customers, but each will improve food freshness, selection and presentation. Renovations will continue into November. The store will remain open throughout the renovation period.
