Hy-Vee employs GK’s OmnichannelPOS, Transaction+ Payments and GK Drive solutions in the store and at the pump.

  • RaceTrac: GK customer RaceTrac’s Tyler Grubbs was selected for the Future Leaders in Convenience Class of 2023 from Convenience Store News and the 2023 Influentials: Top Movers and Shakers in Retail award from RIS News (now Chain Store Age).
