When it comes to convenience, GoMart has been a trusted name for decades. What began as a small, family-owned business in West Virginia has grown into a regional powerhouse, all while staying true to its small-town values.
From humble beginnings to embracing cutting-edge technology, GoMart continues to set the standard for what a convenience store can be—innovative, customer-focused, and deeply committed to the communities it serves.
A Brand Built on Progress
GoMart’s story started in the early 1900s when the Heater family supplied fuel to paddle boats along the Little Kanawha River. Fast forward to 1970, and the company became the first in West Virginia to introduce self-serve gas pumps. The following year, GoMart opened its first store, combining fuel sales with grocery items in a small but forward-thinking location.
Since those early days, GoMart has grown into a leading convenience store brand, blending family-oriented roots with a commitment to innovation. Today, with locations across West Virginia, Ohio, and Virginia, GoMart continues to expand while keeping its customers and communities at the heart of everything it does.
Innovating the C-Store Experience
GoMart has never been afraid to try something new. In the 1980s, it introduced in-store cooking facilities and fresh, proprietary-blend coffee ground on-site—a first in the region. The 1990s saw the addition of pay-at-the-pump technology and computerized registers, making shopping more convenient for its customers.
Fast forward to today, and GoMart is embracing the digital age. Its Rewards Program, launched in 2016, has been a game-changer for customer engagement, offering a seamless way for customers to earn points and access exclusive deals. In 2020, GoMart took things to the next level with an updated mobile app that connects customers to rewards, promotions, and more—right from their smartphones.
Rewards Program: Building Customer Loyalty
GoMart’s Rewards Program is designed to give back to the customers who shop there the most. Here’s how it works:
- Points for Purchases: Customers earn points on every purchase, which can be redeemed for discounts or other rewards.
- Seasonal Promotions: Campaigns like the M&M’s bonus points promo let customers earn extra points while enjoying their favorite treats.
- Triple Points Days: These frequent promotions help shoppers rack up points even faster.
The program isn’t just about saving money; it’s about creating a more engaging, personalized shopping experience. Frequent shoppers feel like they’re part of the GoMart family, and the program fosters a deeper connection between the brand and its customers.
