Pilot is rolling out a new “Fuel Kit” value snack box this summer, according to a press release. The $8 snack box lets customers mix and match snacks, candy and drinks, and is available now through September 2 at more than 340 participating Pilot and Flying J locations.

Eligible items for the Fuel Kit are:

  • One small bag of Frito-Lay brand chips (up to 4.25 oz)
  • One standard-size candy (up to 2.25 oz)
  • One any-size fountain drink
  • Three chicken tenders

“There’s nothing better than an epic road trip, a great playlist and your favorite sweet and savory snacks within arm’s reach,” said Sean Marrero, vice president of food & beverage at Pilot. “That’s why we created the Fuel Kit, to bring convenience, variety and value together in one perfectly portable and personalized deal so that drivers can get back out on their journey.”

The company highlighted that in a recent Pilot survey, nearly 60% of summer travelers said they crave a mix of sweet and salty snacks while also aiming to maximize their travel budget.

Back in May, the retailer honored National Road Trip Day (the Friday before Memorial Day) with a $15,000 summer giveaway. The giveaway invited consumers to share what “calls them to the open road” on social media. Three winners were selected to receive $5,000 in cash and $1,000 in Pilot gift cards.
