South Dakota Corn Utilization Council Announces Partnership with Kwik Star to Promote Ethanol-Blended Fuel Use in South Dakota

The South Dakota Corn Utilization Council (SDCUC) and Kwik Star are pleased to announce their partnership to promote the use of ethanol-blended fuel across eastern South Dakota. Through events at Kwik Star’s 11 South Dakota locations and ongoing educational efforts, the organizations are encouraging drivers to save at the pump with ethanol-blended fuels.

“We are thrilled to partner with SDCUC this spring to promote Unleaded 88 and the benefits of 15% ethanol,” Mark Meisner, Vice President of Marketing, Kwik Trip / Kwik Star said. “15% ethanol provides a higher octane which burns cleaner and is good for the environment, and better for your wallet. It’s my fuel of choice.”

This partnership is the first of its kind for SDCUC and the state of South Dakota, but Kwik Star’s longstanding commitment to promoting ethanol-blended fuels across their markets makes this partnership a natural fit for both organizations. Kwik Star is well-versed in successful partnerships, recently promoting Unleaded 88 in Iowa with the Unleaded 88 Winning Drive.

Tapping into Kwik Star’s growth in South Dakota, SDCUC looks to generate buzz around the increased availability of ethanol-blended fuels while saving South Dakotans money.

“As Kwik Star’s presence in South Dakota continues to grow, we look forward to partnering with them to grow South Dakotans’ utilization of ethanol blended fuels,” Amanda Bechen, Senior Director of Communications and Marketing, SDCUC said.
