ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Convenience retailers are always looking for new products or concepts to delight their customers. Sometimes they are able to incorporate them into an existing business, and sometimes it leads to an entirely new business.

The latest NACS Convenience Matters podcast talks about how retailers can reinvent their businesses.

Our 2008 NACS Chairman Richard Oneslager, president of Balmar Management Group in Denver, Colorado, talks about how he finds new ideas—and even business opportunities, such as his new concept, the Bottle Shop—in the episode “Finding New Ideas.” All podcast episodes are available at www.nacsonline.com/podcasts and on iTunes by searching for Convenience Matters.

“Our industry is full of entrepreneurs who often venture beyond our channel to bring new ideas to market in other formats. Richard shares how he navigated the process,” said podcast co-host Jeff Lenard, NACS vice president of strategic industry initiatives.

A new podcast is released every week, focusing on topics related to convenience stores.  If you’re looking for some more inspiration, browse through the NACS Ideas 2 Go videos, featuring hundreds of segments on everything from foodservice to dog parks.
