The Trimark of Excellence Mystery Shop Program is uniquely designed to protect the integrity of the CITGO brand and reward you for your day-to-day efforts to maintain it. It creates consistency across the brand and allows for tracking accomplishments as well as areas of improvement, both in store and at the pump.
Small improvements in each of these areas could reap big rewards!
Improve your location's outside appearance.
Improve your location's inside appearance.
Improve your location's customer service.
Your locations will be shopped secretly by a third-party vendor four times per year, so we can give you better feedback.
The grading system pinpoints your performance based on a possible score of up to 121 points (119 points plus 2 bonus points), with all questions allowing for partial credit. A pass/fail score will be given on select brand image questions.
The questionnaire/checklist emphasizes consistency and is divided into three sections that ecompass the overall retail experience of your customers—fueling, shopping and customer service.

Appeals must be submitted within 30 days of the original mystery shop or up to 10 days after the close of the quarter, whichever comes first. Click here for instructions on how to submit an Appeal
