Speedway, a popular convenience store chain, allows SNAP recipients to use their EBT cards for eligible food purchases. Shoppers can buy fruits, vegetables, meat, cereal, whole wheat bread, and dairy products with EBT cards. However, EBT funds cannot be used for gasoline or non-SNAP items at Speedway. This ensures EBT benefits are used according to SNAP regulations, focusing on food security for low-income individuals and families.
