Once again Red-Kap has partnered with the ExxonMobil Education Alliance Program.  This program will donate $2 million throughout the country by allowing Mobil and Exxon gas stations to nominate schools in their neighborhoods to receive $500 grants to be used for math and science curriculums.  Red-Kap has participated in this program for several years.

This year $500 grants were secured for nine different schools in our marketing area.  Red-Kap has gone a step further by adding $100 to each of the grants so that each school received $600 for a total of $5400.  “Handing out these checks is one my favorite parts of my job.” says Jon Kaplan.

Red-Kap also raised $2,500 in September by donating $1 for every car that was washed in their 3 carwashes to Rotterdam Junction flood victims.  Other large contributions this year included Ellis Hospital and the Schenectady Boys and Girls Club.

 

Red-Kap recently hired Matt Stollmeyer from within the industry to join the team. Matt brings with him a wealth of experience in both retail and wholesale business and is bringing to Red-Kap a fresh perspective, notably in fuel management and retail design.

Matt attained both his undergraduate degree and MBA from the University of Memphis. He is a Gulf War veteran having served in the US ARMY. Prior to coming to Red-Kap, Matt’s experience includes Retail Management with AMOCO and BP, Lubricant experience with Castrol and EXXON, he has managed and created multi-branded distributorships and has been particularly successful in managing fuel which will certainly help Red-Kap provide new value to its customers in the year to come.
