TANK & Kroger Team Up to Benefit TANK Plus Riders

TANK and Kroger Team Up to Benefit TANK Plus Riders

TANK’s mission is to provide affordable access to transportation in our region and addressing barriers to accessing fresh food, which is why we are teaming up with Kroger for a new initiative.

Kroger is collaborating with TANK to give new TANK Plus riders a $5 Kroger store gift card for your first ride on TANK Plus. This will allow residents to make their trip to a Kroger grocery store, with Kroger offsetting the cost of half your trip by way of a $5 Kroger gift card on your first ride. Participants need to book their trip in the app or by phone with our call center, and ride to a Kroger store within our service zone.

Since its launch in August, TANK Plus has been providing on-demand service with convenient curb-to-curb transportation for riders, or connection to a TANK fixed route transfer point.

“We’re excited to reach this six-month milestone and thankful for the continued support of our riders,” said Gina Douthat, TANK general manager. “Thanks to the generous support of Kroger, we’re able to offset the cost of a rider’s first TANK Plus trip while also giving them easier access to fresh food. This is just one of the ways we’re continuing to make transportation easier and more accessible for everyone.”

TANK Plus service is available in designated portions of Campbell County from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Sunday. There are two Kroger stores located within the service area including the Newport Marketplace (130 Pavilion Pkwy.) and the Highland Heights Cold Spring store (70 Martha Layne Collins Blvd.).

“Kroger is proud to team up with TANK to support its on-demand service to increase access to fresh food and essentials for northern Kentucky residents,” said Jenifer Moore, corporate affairs manager for the Cincinnati/Dayton division of Kroger. “This investment is an example of our commitment through our Zero Hunger | Zero Waste initiative to build strong collaborations in the community as we work to create a hunger-free future.”

The TANK and Kroger gift card promotion runs through August 13, 2025 – which marks the one-year anniversary of TANK Plus’s launch – or while gift cards are still available.

Riders can book their trip by calling 859-331-8265 or through the TANK+ app which is available on Google Play and the App Store.
