Well October is here, and we’re ready for a good scare!
As much fun as it is to dole out tiny candy bars to adorable kids in cute costumes, we love to get out a few times during scare season for some bone chilling thrills. And since we love to keep things local, here’s a list of some of the best haunted houses, train rides, and combination events Wisconsin has to offer!
It’s hard to pick just one favorite thing about Wisconsin fall, but corn mazes are near the top of our list! Many’s a friend we’ve had over the years who rolled their eyes at the idea of wandering lost through towering stalks of corn. Once we dragged the unbelievers into the unknown, however, they always wind up being the first people to tag everyone when a new maze design starts showing up on Facebook.
In honor of our Buy A Bone campaign to support local animal shelters and humane societies, we want to celebrate pets in our communities…and one of our favorite ways to do it is with a Pet Photo Contest!

Have you heard one of the inspiring stories about someone going through a drive thru and when they pull up to the window the employee tells them, “The car in front of you paid for your order”? Oftentimes, the person who received the free meal or beverage decides to continue to pay it forward and pay for the order of the car behind them.
Those random acts of kindness are at the heart of our annual Take Time, Be Kind Campaign at The Store. The communities in which we are located are our homes and neighborhoods. It’s where we see our friends and neighbors every day. Our goal for the Take Time, Be Kind campaign is simple: to encourage you to spread kindness towards everyone you see.
What do you think a day in the life of a Guest Service Representative (GSR) at a convenience store looks like? Think it’s all about standing at the register? Well then, you might be surprised to learn there’s much more to it than that!
We knew the best way to share more about the guest service role was to go directly to the source. So we talked to Katy, a Team Leader at our Store location in east Stevens Point. We checked in with her and asked her to help us learn more about a day in her shoes.
The lights are sparkling. The weather is chilly. The pine scent of freshly cut trees hangs in the air. It’s official – the holidays are here! While the holidays are a bright and happy season for many, it can be a challenging time for those in need. Which makes it all the more important that […]
The holiday season is on the way. You know what that means – it’s almost time to tackle another year of holiday shopping. Yikes. It might be the most wonderful time of the year, but trying to find that special item for everyone on your list can be anything but wonderful. Before the stress sets in and your bank account […]
Have you ever worked for a company where you didn’t feel valued? Where you felt the business was more important than the people who helped run it every day? Unfortunately, too many of us have experienced this at some point in our careers.
At The Store, this couldn’t be further from our values. We put our Associates at the heart of everything we do, and we know our convenience stores would be nothing without our Associates’ smiling faces and world-class Guest service. As a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business, we understand work/life balance, community support, and a positive working environment. And that’s the culture we promote at The Store!

So, what makes our new cups so great? Read on!
