ATLANTA, (April 20, 2020) – RaceTrac today announces the launch of its new online ordering platform. This new platform allows guests to select and order needed items from a RaceTrac location closest to them and pickup within 30 minutes from the “Grab and Go Box” pass-through window. All online order transactions will allow guests to abide by safe social distancing guidelines.
To place an order go to order.racetrac.com. Orders can be placed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except while the store is closed for cleaning). Online ordering is the latest rollout from the company in addition to various other actions taken during COVID-19.
Through the online ordering platform guests will be able to:
- Order directly from the RaceTrac website for pickup at a store location in closest proximity.
- Select Whatever Gets You Going™ from a menu of available food, drink, alcohol and tobacco items. Edit quantities for checkout cart.
- Pick up their orders from selected stores within 30 minutes using the “Grab and Go Box.” Guests will say their name on the order, pay at the pass-through window and receive order.
“RaceTrac is committed to the continuous support of our communities and guests through this unprecedented and uncertain time,” said Melanie Isbill, Chief Marketing Officer of RaceTrac. “Online ordering is the newest addition to the products and services we are offering to help continue to get our guests whatever gets them going while providing a safe, clean and reliable experience.”
