At U.S. Oil, we understand how difficult it can be to run a convenience store. To

make it easier for our customers, U.S. Oil has developed the Preferred Provider

Program (P3) as outlined in the pages of this guide. By doing business with the

vendors on the following pages, you can save thousands of dollars on items you

use every day.

This year, U.S. Oil partnered with Convenience Store Alliance (CSA) to add a Plus

Program to our P3 offerings. Through the Plus Program, owners can receive deep

discounts and/or cash rebates from national suppliers. CSA collects all purchasing

data from P3 Plus vendors and sends owners a detailed quarterly savings report.

Also new this year is a vacation option! Active members of P3 (Basic or Plus

options) can elect to have savings allocated toward an all-inclusive getaway.

Check out usoilP3incentive.com for more details. It’s another way to say thank

you to our valued partners.

As you look through the guide you will see P3 Plus Options in the front of the

book and Basic Options toward the back. Plus options require registration and a

one-time set-up fee; P3 Basic options are free of charge for all U.S. Oil customers.

For more information on both the P3 Plus and P3 Basic Programs, please visit our

website at usoilp3.com. We hope you enjoy the time and money you’ll save by

participating in P3!

Sherry Bevers

PROTANIC

Protanic locates the source of petroleum leaks at service stations.

With no known experience by anyone in this discipline, Protanic was the pioneer in this field. In the 1970’s there were no regulations or

protocols governing tank and line leak detection. Protanic began a tireless campaign for proper leak detection methods and training while staying focused on its original purpose. With over 40 years in the industry Protanic is the oldest and most experienced testing company in the United States.

Protanic’s reputation of excellence speaks for itself. Protanic has been called on to troubleshoot and pinpoint the location of leaks other compliance testing companies were unable to find. When issues arise, inspectors have recommended Protanic to resolve an array of compliance and troubleshooting concerns. With immense industry knowledge and unequaled experience, Protanic has been requested time and time again to provide training for state and local fire inspectors throughout the Midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio).

SPECIAL OFFER: Protanic offers U.S. Oil customers significant savings on all their services. Call today for exclusive pricing.
