PITTSBURGH -- The Petroleum Retailers & Auto Repair Association of Pittsburgh has asked for a meeting with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office over Giant Eagle Inc.’s fuelperks! program, reported the Associated Press.

Under the program, customers get a 10-cent-per-gallon discount on gasoline at GetGo convenience stores for every $50 they spend at Giant Eagle grocery stores. The group claims Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle is illegally selling gasoline below cost, which violates the state’s Unfair Sales Act.

DALLAS -- “7-Eleven” and “chef” don’t necessarily sound like they go together. But they do. 7-Eleven Inc. is touting that it employs several corporate chefs, part of a fresh food product development team charged with turning consumers into believers in the “quality, flavor and value” of the expanded lineup of 7-Eleven fresh food items, the company said.

To expand its menu of fresh foods with new flavors and ingredients exclusive to 7-Eleven, the chefs follow dining and food trends in restaurants closely. Playing a key role in developing new flavors are Executive Chef Phil Butler, Product Development Chef Randal Shircel, Bakery Chef Jeff Schultz and Sous Chef Britain Smyth, all full-time employees who are part of the 7-Eleven fresh food research and development group headed by Kulsoom Klavon, director of product development.
