The Estok family has been in business since 1967, but the real fun began in 2011 when they became Zip Thru Mart and a Lottery retailer in Knox! Being a part of the community for so long, it has become a landmark and destination for the residents of Knox, IN. It has gone through many changes over the years from a grocery store, Pizza King, to now Zip Thru Mart. They are a small tobacco/convenience store, with a drive-thru window for their customers' convenience.
What makes Zip Thru Mart so special? Owners Chuck and Janice Estok, along with their daughter Charlie Reiss (Manager), have created a family-oriented atmosphere within their store for both employees and their customers. They know their Lottery customers by name and know what their game of choice is. It is commonplace to see repeat customers throughout the day or just players hanging out talking "Lottery shop."
Zip Thri Mart is proud of its winning players with postings around the store. They use lottery marketing materials through the store and are always excited to partner with the Lottery for wheel spin promotions.
Friendly staff, great ownership, an expansive Scratch-off offering, promotion engagement, and the staff's knowledge of Lottery games have led Zip Thru Mart to be one of the top independent retailers in the state. Their Lottery Sales Representative, Scott Anderson, has built a great partnership with the owners to build their business through the years. Thank you, Estok family!
