Submit RED cures now

The shopping portion of the Brand Standard Audit ended on August 31. Now is the time to submit cures for both the 2025 Lighting Audit and Brand Standard Audit before the deadline on September 30.

The Brand Standard Audit requires a 90% passing score. When applicable, passing the Lighting Audit is mandatory to pass the Brand Standard Audit. Cures may be submitted to recover points for incorrect elements. Please submit Lighting Audit cures within the Lighting Audit scorecard.

As a reminder, a Remediation Form is required any time Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s materials are present, resulting in a brand image failure. The required form is linked within the scorecard, at the top of the Submit Cures page, and also on Cenex Hub. Only one form is required per location and should be uploaded as an attachment when submitting the cure.

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 linked above. 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)
