WICHITA — Construction starts next week on a new Dillons Fuel Center at the Dillons at 13th and West. It will be similar to the company’s fuel center at 13th and Tyler and should be open by late summer.
“It’s all abut convenience,” says spokeswoman Sheila Lowrie.
The center will be at the southwest corner of the Dillons parking lot.
It will have five fuel pumps as well as a service kiosk that sells things like cigarettes, newspapers, lottery tickets and candy bars. There also will be vending machines.
A QuikTrip is located across the street on the southeast corner of 13th and West. But Lowrie says that’s not why Dillons selected this new location.
“Really, it’s about feedback from our customers,” she says. “It’s a convenience that our customers tell us they really enjoy.”
Lowrie says the fuel center will allow customers to easily redeem Dillons’ fuel-saver rewards while stopping off for groceries. That’s 2 cents off every gallon with a Dillons Plus Card, or 10 cents off a gallon if customers are part of the Dillons fuel-saver rewards program.
Lowrie says customers can shop, get their rewards for grocery purchases and “fill up right there at the store.”

Good news. Always good to see Dillons Expand and not another China Walmart outlet.
Yippee Skippee – I’m tired of earning those $.10/gallon discounts at one grocery store and then having to drive several miles to another store to redeem them. It was silly going to Central/West or 13th/West and then driving halfway to Maize to find a Dillons gas pump.
I don’t think they have room at that location; the parking lot is alway full?
i like food and gas.
I eat food, I get gas …
The parking lot will be expanded to the east, toward the credit union next door.

Nah,their parking lot is already at the property line of the Credit Union to the east.
It will be on that southwest corner where that bank was years ago.
Good luck if you want cigarettes. This location has very few to offer.
Its about time Dillons. Hope the will have E-85. Remember there used to be a kwik shop at that corner till early 90’s.
Isn’t Kwik Sho owned by Kroger/Dillons?
Yes it is.
It’s about time! Now can we maybe get a recycling collection point at that location?
