The cure deadline for both the 2026 Lighting Audit and Brand Standard Audit is September 30. All cures must be submitted with proper documentation by the deadline.
The Brand Standard Audit requires a 90% score to be passed, including a passed Lighting Audit. Locations with incorrect elements can recover points by submitting cures via the Mystery Shop portal. Cures for the Lighting Audit should be submitted within the Lighting Audit scorecard.
Since points can be earned back for all questions with the exception of customer service, it is our goal to return as many points as possible through the cure process.
Scores that remain below 90% after September 30 will result in enforcement of contractual rights to ensure compliance with Cenex Retail Image Standards. Enforcement may include, but is not limited to:
$250.00 fee for first score below 90%
$500.00 fee for two or more consecutive scores below 90%
Termination of the Branded Petroleum Marketers Agreement (BPMA)
