Raleigh, NC (OPENPRESS) June 1, 2012 -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) (http://www.kroger.com/), the nation's largest traditional grocery retailer with 16 stores throughout the Triangle, has announced its "Hot Savings on Fuel, All Summer Long" promotion, allowing customers to earn and double the maximum amount of fuel points redeemable, saving up to $2.00 off per gallon at all Kroger Fuel Centers and partner Shell locations. Through regular in store purchases and special offers from May 27 through Sept. 30, customers have the opportunity to redeem up to 2000 fuel reward points.
