Family Express Corporation
Our Story
Family Express is recognized in the market place by our passion for customer service. We have built our brand on the art of building relationships with our customers by utilizing our “living brand”. The living brand is our uniquely friendly employees. In addition, our upscale colonial architecture and enhanced landscaping plans welcome visitors from across Northwest Indiana. We pride ourselves on using cutting edge technology throughout our operation to ensure the best environment for our customers and associates.
Consumer innovations like our F.E. Perks loyalty program which offers the ability to earn instant cents-off-per-gallon savings at the pump for purchases inside the store, keep us on the leading edge.
F.E. Perks members also have the benefit of downloading the Family Express mobile application to their smart phone (Android, Blackberry and iPhone). The application provides the customer a Family Express store locater, promotion alerts, individual store fuel pricing, a game complete with prizes that are redeemable in the store and the ability to link an F.E. Perks card directly to the device and check the balance and to use at the register instead of a traditional plastic card at all locations.
We also believe strongly in our responsibility to the environment. All of our underground storage tanks are electronically controlled and monitored in order to assure fuel quality and environmental safety. In 2013, we began a million dollar upgrade of every light bulb in every store and office to more energy efficient LED lights.
All Family Express stores are equipped with an electronic cash management system, which eliminates the necessity for anyone in the store having to count cash beyond putting it in the cash register. The store deposit is electronically tabulated so that even the deposit slip is produced by the system. In order to enhance employee and customer safety, all of the stores can be visually monitored via the Internet.
We operate stores throughout Northwest and North Central Indiana. Our unique logistics model consolidates 30 traditional DSD weekly deliveries into a single daily delivery thereby achieving transportation efficiencies and unsurpassed freshness for perishables. We are known for high-performance fuels and our proprietary brands, including JAVA WAVE gourmet coffees, the JW European Cafe, Squeeze Freeze frozen carbonated drinks, private label natural spring water, milk products, and ice. The Cravin’s Market brand includes a line of fresh sandwiches and bakery products such as our square donuts that are prepared and delivered daily from our central distribution facility.
Our Vision
To be the finest small chain of convenience stores and fueling centers in the world.
Our Mission
We provide our customers with total satisfaction by offering competitively priced, high-quality products and services, in a clean, safe, and friendly environment.
