Alsip Shell Celebrates Station Remodel With Holiday Cash Giveaway

ALSIP, IL — Alsip Shell will be doling out cash as part of a holiday cash reward giveaway in celebration of the gas station and store’s recent remodeling. Come in anytime up to midnight through Dec. 16 and fill out a slip to enter the raffle. The drawing will take place Dec. 17.

Manager Akhil Thomas told Patch the gas station was pretty run down a year ago. The promotion is in partnership with Elite Gaming Midwest, a provider of gaming machines.

“Come in daily and put your name down for some free holiday cash,” Thomas said. “Then check out the store that’s newly remodeled and fully stocked.”

No purchase is required. Just see the cashier for an entry slip. You can enter once per day. Players must be 21 to play.

Alsip Shell is open 24/7 and carries specialty fuels, such as Kerosene and 110 octane racing gas, sold by the gallon. The Shell station also has high flow trucker diesel pumps, DEF, and auto/oil fluids, in addition to gas.

“Most stores don’t have this, and we will help any local resident who uses that,” Thomas said.

Alsip Shell is an independently owned and operated, and not a corporate location. The mini-mart has been redone with new shelving and lighting. The store is fully stocked with groceries, snacks, pop, frozen foods, ice cream, coffee, cappuccino, along with liquor, beer and wine. The gaming rooms and bathrooms have also been remodeled. Illinois Lottery will be sold.

Players will have a chance to win a third place prize of $100, second place prize of $200, and a grand prize of $500, which should come in handy during the holidays.

Alsip Shell is located at 12954 S. Cicero Ave. (129th Street and Cicero Avenue).
