Read the April/May issue of Convenience and Impulse Retailing magazine now - https://bit.ly/4jrgMo1 In this issue, we meet Alberta Nader, General Manager of Blue Robe Petroleum. Alberta discusses how she became involved in the P&C channel and how she plans to continue her family business while building her own legacy. We then check out the innovative 7-Eleven Australia Bowen Hills. Located in the inner north-east of Brisbane, 7-Eleven Bowen Hills is more than just a convenience store; it is a neighbourhood hub catering to the daily needs of locals, office workers, and visitors alike. We’ve got category features on sports drinks, hot food, and flavoured milk, as well as a special piece on regional P&C outlets and the unique challenges and opportunities these businesses face. Learn from leaders in the channel with opinion pieces from Theo Foukkare, CEO of AACS (Australian Association of Convenience Stores), Kellie Struth, Head of Category & Marketing at APCO Service Stations, and Michael Brick, Partner and General Manager of Meris Food Equipment, who share some great insights into what is happening in the industry and their businesses. Finally, we celebrate the achievements of The Handmade Food Co., which is celebrating 20 years of operations. With a slew of long-standing staff members and an ever-growing range, The Handmade Food Co is a shining light of how to do business right. Happy reading!
