CStore Momentum, hosted by Weigel’s, is set to take place this year in Knoxville, Tenn., from Aug. 6-8. The three-day conference brings together young professionals from across the industry to learn, engage and network with likeminded peers.
On Aug. 7, attendees will get the chance to hear from Beth Hoffer, vice president of Weigel’s, and Faheem Jamal, director of retail operations for Chestnut Market, in an educational session titled “The Operational Edge: Best Practices from the Best in the Business.”
In this session, Hoffer and Jamal will dive into what it truly takes to run a convenience store that excels at every level — from day-to-day operations to long-term strategy. The two will examine the tools, techniques and best practices that set top performers apart.
Jamal will also explain Chestnut’s “Retail is Detail,” strategy, which the chain uses to ensure consistent quality of service, well-stocked shelves and clean stores.
“I’ll give all credit for the Retail Is Detail concept and the launch of the Walk the Store type of program in our company to our president, Sal Jamal,” Rick Theilig, general manager for Chestnut Petroleum Distributors, told CStore Decisions in January. “Sal has one of the keenest eyes for retail and the detail aspect of it in this industry that I’ve ever been familiar with.”
The conference continues with countless networking opportunities, educational sessions, burning issue discussions and much more. Plus, attendees will get an inside look at Weigel’s operations, including its new commissary program.
