Parker’s, a nationally recognized convenience store leader headquartered in Savannah, Ga., will open the company’s 38th retail store – and second drive-through location – tomorrow at 105 Queen St. in Vidalia, Ga.
 
The new store, which will be open 24/7, will sell high-quality Parker’s gas at 16 fueling locations, the company’s signature Chewy Ice, fountain drinks, fresh-brewed tea and lemonade, gourmet coffee, locally grown fresh-cut fruit, salads, 28-degree beer, vape products, cell phone accessories and much more.
 
“We’ve had such positive feedback to our first drive-through location in Statesboro, Ga., we decided to open our next drive-through Parker’s at this prime location in Vidalia,” said Greg Parker, company president and CEO. “We’re proud to be the Low Price Leader in Toombs County and throughout coastal Georgia and South Carolina.”
 
The Vidalia store will be managed and staffed by experienced members of the Parker’s team, all of whom share a commitment to delivering high-quality customer service.
 
Vidalia customers can choose the Parker’s Cash Card or PumpPal Card, both of which offer savings of up to 10 cents a gallon at the pump. Customers can pick up a free Cash Card or a PumpPal card at any Parker’s location to start saving.
 
“At Parker’s, we offer highly competitive gas prices and quality customer service,” said Parker. “We also save our customers time, which is the most valuable commodity of all. Fast, fresh and friendly is more than just a motto at Parker’s. It’s a promise we make to our customers each and every day.”
