Yes, our employees get discount gas…and you can too!
Comments (0)

Whenever I tell someone that I work at NOCO, they always ask me, “Do you get a discount on gas?” My answer to them is always the same, “Everyone can get a discount on gas from NOCO!” I don’t think they believe me until I tell them about the NOCO Friends and Family Club with EZ-Pay.

How does it work?

First, run out to any NOCO Express and sign up for the Friends and Family club card or sign up online here.

The Friends and Family club card works just like any other loyalty card. You sign up for the card in the store, we scan your license and just like that, you start earning points.   You can get 10 points for every gallon of gas and 20 points for every dollar you spend in our Express Stores. That’s 20 points for every dollar you spend on snacks, gum, beer, whatever. Once you have 5,000 points, we send you a $5.00 gift card, 9,000 points gets you $10 and so on.    That’s a pretty sweet deal, if you ask me!

Okay so that’s how you’re rewarded for being our customer…..so, next we’re on to the gas discount.

How do you get that?

Well, now that you have your friends and family card, you simply register for EZPay on our secure website, here. Then every time you fuel up, you pay directly from your checking account and save 10 Cents per gallon!

It’s that easy!

So, what’s the catch? 

There is no catch.   Here’s how we’re able to do it – We have to pay a fee to the credit card companies every time you use your credit card.   If you sign up for easy pay, we avoid that fee (and you avoid those high interest rates) and we pass that savings on to you, our loyal customer.   It’s a winning opportunity for us both!

So what are you waiting for?   Sign up for the Friends and Family club card with EZPay, today!

NOCO Does That, Too?
Comments (0)

One of the big questions we’re asked here at NOCO is what exactly does NOCO do? We think our tagline, “At Home, At Work, and On the Go” pretty much sums what we do. NOCO provides services for every aspect of your life.

Most people in WNY know NOCO by our Express stores. Although our 33 gas station convenience stores are the face of our company in Buffalo and Rochester, we do much more and reach beyond Western New York. That’s something most people don’t know about NOCO which is why we chose to add the tagline, “At Home, At Work, and On the Go” to our Logo. We’re so proud of all of the things we do.
At Home:
If your home uses heating oil or propane, NOCO has been providing delivery to area homes since 1933. You don’t use heating oil or propane? Well, NOCO also is a supplier of Natural Gas and Electric in Buffalo and Rochester.

We also repair, install, and maintain heating and cooling systems. That’s right, if your furnace is on the fritz, NOCO can send someone out to repair it.  Need a new Air conditioner, just call NOCO.
At Work:
All of the energy options you have at home, we also provide for commercial businesses. Natural Gas and electric supply, heating oil, or propane – NOCO does that.
Have a Fleet? We also have fleet fueling service, we’ll come out to your business to fill your trucks with gasoline or sign up for a NOCO Super Saver fleet card and receive rebates for commercial fuel purchases.

We also provide customers with motor oil, industrial cleaners, food grade lubricants, and more. These product warehouses spread beyond WNY into Syracuse, Central New York, Vermont, and even into Canada.

We even provide oxygen and welding supplies. Yes, you heard that right.  We provide local construction businesses with welding supplies and local hospitals and medical facilities with medical gases like oxygen and nitrogen through Buffalo Welding Supply.
On the Go:
If you live in Buffalo, chances are you’ve filled your gas tank at a NOCO station but did you know that NOCO also provides our own Nickel City Roast Coffee and fresh foods in our convenience stores. Through our Nickel City Market Café we provide sandwiches, salads and more to the NOCO stores. We also cater- you can call Nickel City Market Café to cater your next home or office party.

No matter where you are, NOCO is here for you. We hope you’ll call when you need us whether you’re at Home, at Work, or On the Go.

What is Your Thermostat Personality?
Comments (2)

 

 

I don’t know what it’s like in your home or office,  but  at my house, when the temperature starts dropping in the winter, the battle of the thermostat begins.  When it come to heating, we usually agree on a set temperature and leave the thermostat at the temp.  That is until I get cold. That’s when the temperature war begins.  The dial moves up and down all winter long.

Since we have agreed on a temperature, I feel bad openly changing the temperature so I sneak to change it.  That’s right, I wait until no one else in the house is looking and raise the heat a degree or two.  I know I should just change the temperature, I’m an adult, but I just can’t help myself. I think it goes back to my childhood when my parents were the only ones allowed to adjust the thermostat.  So now, every winter my husband and I go back and forth- one of us openly lowering the temperature, and one sneaking around to change it back.

So, tell us – do you have this problem at home? What is your thermostat personality?  Are you sly like me?  Do you go with the flow and stick with the agreed upon temperature?  Or do you bravely and proudly change the temperature without a second thought?  Take our fun poll to see how you rank.

Switch Your Energy Supplier to NOCO & Save!
Comments (0)

NOCO has made switching your energy supplier even easier.  We have recently added a simple, 3 step sign-up  to our website where you can switch your energy supplier in a matter of minutes.  All you have to do is go to noco.com/choosenoco and follow the prompts.  To complete the form you’ll need your contact information and your natural gas or electric utility account number.NOCO Energy Suppliers

Why would you want to change your energy supplier?  Well, it’s all about deregulation.  Prior to deregulation in New York State, your utility had to supply your natural gas or electric.  Now, you have the right to choose an Energy Service Company (ESCO) like NOCO for energy supply. ESCOs in the marketplace have enabled consumers to get better value for their energy dollar — through forcing efficiency, driving competition, and allowing for innovation.    Switching to NOCO for natural gas and electric can save you money.

When you choose NOCO for your natural gas or electric supplier, your service and billing will not change. You will still receive a bill, service, and delivery from your current utility –however, with NOCO’s supply rates and benefits.

It’s that simple. Switch to NOCO and save today.

NOCO Unveils Newly Rebuilt Store
Comments (0)

CHEEKTOWAGA, NY – NOCO Express Stores today unveiled its newly rebuilt gasoline convenience store at 4590 Genesee Street, on the corner of Holtz Street across from the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. The store will open to the public on December 13th.

The former 1,600 square foot store was demolished in early September and is being replaced with a 5,000 square foot state of the art store featuring NOCO’s “store within a store” concept, new convenient amenities for customers such as a kiosk for check-in at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport and various green building technologies to reduce energy consumption.

“NOCO Express continues to raise the bar in bringing high quality products and amenities to our customers at home, at work and on the go,” said Michael F. Newman, NOCO executive vice president. “The convenience store industry is continuously evolving and we are proud to offer a variety of new features to our customers in addition to constructing our most environmentally friendly store to date.”

NOCO also has hired an additional 14 employees to accommodate the customer needs of the new store, bringing the total workforce at the store to twenty-one employees.

The store was constructed with several building technologies to reduce energy consumption, including low watt LED lighting, a refrigeration energy management system and white roofing for increased light reflectivity.  A light harvesting system was installed utilizing skylights that allow natural light into the store and an energy management control system that automatically dims the store lighting during the daylight hours on an as needed basis. The store is also equipped with the infrastructure to accommodate electrical charging stations for electric cars in the future.

The new NOCO Express offers customers meal options for breakfast, lunch and dinner with an evolution of the traditional Charlie The Butcher Express concept – “Taste What Buffalo is all About,” which will serve Charlie’s signature fresh carved beef on weck, turkey and carve of the day along with the introduction of a hot breakfast menu and full pizza and chicken wing offerings. Charlie The Butcher will be open from 6 a.m. – 11 p.m. daily with delivery also available. In addition, customers can select from a variety of grab-and-go items, such as NOCO’s signature Nickel City Roast premium blend coffees, sandwiches, salads and fresh fruit.

Due to the proximity to the airport, the new store features a real time departure and arrival screen for guests to monitor flight times and also a kiosk where one can check in and print boarding passes. The store also offers expanded cooler and merchandising space along with a walk-in beverage cooler lending to an increased variety of on-the-go products.

NOCO is celebrating the Grand Opening all Week.  Stop by and say hi!

Is it Time to Change Your Furnace Filter?
Comments (1)

As the temperature drops, we begin to use our heater more and more. And the more we use our heater; the closer we get to needing a replacement furnace.  So what can you do to get the most out of your heater?

Changing your furnace filter is one thing you can do to prolong replacing your furnace.  It can also cut down on furnace repairs, which let’s face it, arrive only when it’s an emergency, and you need it fixed right away.

A dirty air filter can also cause your system to run inefficiently.  That’s why NOCO Heating Pros recommend you change your furnace filter once per season.  That is once at the beginning of the heating season, (when you first turn your heater on) and once at the beginning of the cooling season (when you start using that air conditioner).   This helps eliminate the dirt and dust that can affect your air flow and may even cause your furnace to require repairs.

So if you haven’t done so this season, head to the furnace and change your filter.  It could save you money and time.
