The People Behind Good To Go: Amanda McQueary, Retail Auditor If you’re looking for someone who truly understands Good To Go from the inside out, you don’t get much more full-circle than Amanda McQueary. Amanda started with Good To Go in June 2002 as a cashier at Rochester North #34. Over the years, she worked her way through nearly every operational role imaginable. Assistant Store Manager. Store Manager. District Manager. Dispatch. And today, she brings that deep, hard-earned perspective to her role as a Retail Auditor in Retail Accounting. What makes Amanda’s journey especially meaningful is that it mirrors the growth of the company itself. She didn’t just grow with Good To Go. She helped shape how it operates today. One of her proudest moments came when she was promoted to District Manager, a role she earned through grit, long hours, and consistency. Later, when Amanda decided to start a family, Good Oil worked with her to transition into a role that fit her life at the time. It’s something she still values deeply and a real example of how Good To Go supports its people through life changes. “I worked my tail off, and it felt so good to be recognized for that.” In her current role, Amanda thrives on problem-solving, collaboration, and helping teams find exactly what they need. Those moments when someone says, “that worked perfectly,” or finds exactly what they were looking for are what make her proud to do what she does. Ask anyone who works with her and they’ll tell you the same thing. Amanda brings humor, energy, and honesty into every room. She’s quick with a joke, supportive to her core, and still unapologetically competitive when it comes to games or trivia. She credits mentors like Larry Dewees and Diane Good for helping shape her early career and has had a front-row seat to incredible growth over the last two decades, both in people and in the company itself. Outside of work, Amanda enjoys baking, shopping, campfires, game nights, and a good Bingo session. Her favorite role by far is being mom to her 7-year-old son, Cohen, who she calls her favorite person in the world. Fun fact: she finds four-leaf clovers all the time. Looking ahead, Amanda is excited to lean into new technology and continue evolving how she supports teams across Good To Go. Her advice to anyone just starting out? Jump in. Work together. And don’t be afraid to grow.

In 2025, customers at Good To Go locations rounded up their purchases and raised $91,241 for local organizations. That is real money making a real difference in the towns we serve. What makes our Round Up program special is how local it is. Each Good To Go store chooses the organization it wants to support for a two-month period. Every dollar raised at that store goes directly to that cause. The stores decide. The money stays in the community. Here are just a few of the organizations our teams chose to support this year: Winamac Athletic Boosters Rochester Kiwanis Club Culver Blessing in a Backpack Frankfort Parks Department Fulton County Humane Society Rensselaer Volunteer Fire Department North Judson Swim Team Olive Branch Mission Women’s Shelter These choices reflect what matters locally. Youth programs. First responders. Families. Community spaces. The kinds of organizations that keep small towns strong. Service has always been part of who we are. Good Oil has been rooted in Indiana communities since 1941, and that commitment still shows up every day through programs like Round Up. To our customers who chose to round up, thank you. To our store teams who championed causes close to home, thank you. And to the organizations doing important work behind the scenes, we are proud to support you. Sometimes a few cents at the register can add up to something pretty meaningful.

The People Behind Good To Go: Brandy Bilby, District Manager Brandy Bilby’s story with Good To Go is a testament to growth, loyalty, and choosing work that actually matters. Brandy first joined Good To Go in 2008 as a second-shift Customer Service Representative in Rochester, IN. Over the years, she stepped away a couple of times in search of a more traditional schedule, but each time she found herself coming back. “I realized that having weekends off didn’t matter if I didn’t love the work. I always came back to what I knew, what I loved, and where I felt I was making a difference.” That clarity has shaped her career path. From CSR to Assistant Store Manager, Store Manager, and now District Manager for the South District, Brandy has earned multiple promotions by showing up with consistency, care, and a belief that leadership should be both structured and human. One of her biggest turning points came as a manager, when she had to rethink her relationship with change. “I didn’t always like change, but I learned that it’s inevitable. When you embrace it instead of resisting it, it becomes a good thing and a profitable one.” In her current role, Brandy thrives on expanded responsibility and connection. She enjoys supporting multiple stores, building stronger teams, and helping people grow into roles they did not initially see for themselves. At the heart of her leadership is a simple philosophy. “If you care and you’re passionate about what you do, you can have fun, make a difference, and make money while doing it.” Brandy credits much of her growth to strong mentorship, especially from Dee Mitchell, who hired her as a CSR, promoted her along the way, and encouraged her to step into store leadership when the opportunity arose. She also points to Meachele Thomas as a leader who pushed her to grow and see the bigger picture. Every day, Brandy brings structure, guidance, and encouragement to her teams. For her, success shows up in small but meaningful wins. Fully staffed stores, tight variances, and teams that feel supported. Outside of work, Brandy enjoys camping, floating the river, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. Looking ahead, her focus is clear. Strengthen teams, improve results, and continue building something she is proud to be part of. Her advice to new team members says it all. “Ask questions. Get involved. Engage. Learn.” We are proud to spotlight Brandy Bilby and grateful for the leadership, positivity, and commitment she brings to Good To Go every day.

The People Behind Good To Go: Dee Mitchell, District Manager For nearly two decades, Dee Mitchell has been a steady, trusted leader at Good To Go, growing alongside the company and helping shape how we operate today. She joined the company in June 2006 as a store manager and spent 11 years in that role before being promoted to District Manager for the Northern District, where she now oversees nine stores. Her experience as both a store manager and district manager, along with time spent supporting asset protection and training, gives her a practical, hands-on perspective that informs how she leads and supports teams every day. While Dee’s title has evolved, her focus has remained the same: strengthening operations, developing people, and driving results through consistency and discipline. As Dee puts it, “Results only come with discipline and hard work. The more effort you put in, the greater your success will be.” Her approach reflects a deep respect for the work happening in stores and the people responsible for making each day successful. Dee is most proud of the growth she’s helped foster in others. From improving audit scores to watching team members earn promotions and recognition, she finds the greatest reward in seeing people succeed. Even during the most challenging periods, including the height of COVID, she credits strong relationships and teamwork for carrying everyone forward. “When you can make each other laugh, even on the hard days, you know you’re working with the right people,” she says. Nearly 19 years in, Dee continues to embody what “family first” means at Good To Go. Married for 25 years with a large and growing family, she values balancing strong leadership with being present for the people who matter most, at work and at home. Her longevity, integrity, and steady leadership make her an essential part of who we are and how we operate.

It is amazing what happens when friendly competition and the right incentives come together. At Good To Go, that combination turned into higher sales and stronger employee engagement. Over the past six months, a series of monthly cashier sales contests has delivered steady growth and energized teams across all 19 Good To Go locations. Supported by vendor partners and embraced by store employees, each contest has produced measurable results. Here are the highlights so far: • July and August: Red Bull Challenge increased sales 22% year over year in IL and IN. • September: Ring It Up Rumble featuring Vlasic Pickle Balls and Slim Jim products increased sales 37% month over month. • October: Haunted Hustle featuring 5-hour ENERGY® produced an 8% increase in an already strong category from the prior month. • November: Turkey Take Down featuring FATTY Sticks (Conagra Brands) delivered a 241% month over month increase. • December: Jingle Bell Sell featuring Wonder Snack Cakes (Flowers Foods & Subsidiaries) is off to a strong start. Each contest has been supported with meaningful prizes, including a weekend trip to Chicago and multiple $500 gift cards. Five contests have produced five different winners, demonstrating broad participation and enthusiasm across stores. “Recognition matters. When employees feel excited and supported, customers feel it too. These contests have shown us what happens when teams are given a chance to shine, and partners like Patrick Holder from Red Bull and Abbey Bliss from Universal Sales and Marketing have been incredible collaborators in helping us build that excitement,” said Lynn Wood, Marketing Specialist for Good To Go. Vendor interest continues to grow. Eternal Water, Red Bull, and Pringles are already confirmed partners for 2026, with additional brands exploring opportunities as momentum builds. These contests have become a strategic way to support product movement, enhance customer experience, and elevate team engagement. As these contests evolve, they are shaping more than monthly results. They are shaping the culture the Good To Go team is working to build every day.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we are reflecting on the people who make our work meaningful. Our team members who show up with dedication and care. Our partners who support our work and help us grow. And our customers who trust us to serve their communities every day. Wishing you a warm and happy Thanksgiving. #GoodToGo #GoodOilCompany #Graititude #Community #Teamwork
