SEEING community members struggle with rising costs has prompted the team at Shell Beerwah to introduce additional fuel discounts for seniors and military veterans.
Shell Beerwah forms part of the Beerwah Co-op (est. 1936) and is independently owned and fully staffed by locals.
“Aft er seeing firsthand how members of our community are really struggling with the ever-increasing price of everything, we decided to make an effort to give back,” said Beerwah Co-op General Manager Steve Williams.
The locally-owned service station now offers an extra 2 cents per litre discount to customers who present their seniors card or veterans card – on top of the existing 3 cents per litre discount for returning customers.
“It’s our way of saying thank you for their life experience and for their service,” said Steve.
Eligible customers can also enter the $50 Free Fuel draw.
“We have given away free fuel each week since 2022 to over 250 customers – we get such a thrill out of doing this,” said Shell servo Team Leader Karina.
Console operator Renee recently helped regular customer Mrs Harrington take advantage of the savings by combining her loyalty discount with her seniors card benefit.
“It might not be a lot, but every little bit helps,” said Karina.
“It means so much to the entire team to be able to do this for our community.”
