A settlement was announced between the Department of Justice and QuikTrip , a national owner of gas stations regarding ADA claims after complaints about inaccessible parking near Omaha.
The DOJ lawsuit says the investigation revealed a nationwide pattern and practice of discrimination on the basis of disability. QuikTrip worked with the department to amicably resolve the matter without active litigation.Under the consent decree, which was filed along with a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska, QuikTrip will create a $1.5 million compensatory damages fund for individuals who were victims of discrimination based on disability, as well as take various steps to make its stores accessible.

"QuikTrip", kind of an ironic name for an inaccessible filling station.
Very true :)
