Convenience Store Decisions’ Power 25  recognizes industry pioneers, association executives and lawmakers that shape the way the convenience store industry operates.

These influential business leaders are being selected for the lasting contributions they have made to the convenience channel and the impact their influence has on shaping the future of convenience retailing. (Take the Power 25 Survey!)

The list ranges from leading retailers that have guided companies to national prominence and the suppliers and wholesalers that support them, to government officials that are constantly introducing legislation that affects the way goods and services are sold at retail and the association executives that valiantly oppose them. There is also an opportunity for write-in votes for any candidates that may have been left off the list.

The Power 25 is an impressive honor because the executives and the companies they represent are selected directly by the hardworking professionals that make this industry so special.

All votes are anonymous and will be tallied by a third-party partner. The results and executive overviews will be published in the October issue of Convenience Store Decisions.If you have any questions about the voting process or the survey itself, please give me a call at 201-845-2468 or via email at [email protected].
