4 reasons Cenex is the ultimate tailgate pit stop

Game day plan starts here 

Whether you're road-tripping to the stadium or setting up a backyard tailgate, every great game day starts with one thing: preparation. And that prep almost always starts at the gas station. That’s where Cenex comes in—your one-stop-shop to fuel up, stock up, and rally up before kickoff. 

Here are four reasons Cenex is the MVP of tailgating pit stops.

1. Top-tier™ fuel for top-tier fans

Let’s start with the obvious—your ride. Cenex^® TOP TIER™ detergent gasoline helps optimize engine performance, clean critical engine parts and reduce emissions. Translation? You’ll get to the game more smoothly and spend less time worrying about what’s under the hood.

Whether you're hauling a trailer full of gear or just topping^® off before heading to a friend's house, you can trust Cenex fuel to get you there and back with confidence.

2. Snacks and drinks to fuel the whole crew

No tailgate is complete without snacks. At Cenex convenience stores, you’ll find everything from chips and jerky to energy drinks and sodas. Many locations also offer local favorites, hot food and fresh coffee—perfect for early morning game days or long road trips.

Need ice for the cooler? Extra paper towels? We’ve got you covered.

3. Friendly, hometown service

Cenex stations are locally owned and operated, which means you’re not just another customer—you’re a neighbor. Whether it’s a quick chat about the game, a recommendation for the best local eats, or help finding your way, you’ll feel that sense of hometown pride the moment you walk in.

Fans from all over stop at Cenex stations not just for fuel, but for community.

4. Easy-to-find locations on your route

With hundreds of Cenex locations across the Midwest, you’re never far from a quality pit stop. Whether you're making the trek to the stadium or cheering from a different lot, it’s easy to plan your fuel-ups and snack breaks along the way.
