“What I love about our industry is how open retailers are in sharing ideas. That’s really what makes ‘Ideas 2 Go’ possible,” said NACS’ Treasurer Jay Ricker, president of Ricker Oil Co., in introducing the debut of “Ideas 2 Go” at the 2008 NACS Show in Chicago.
If you missed the 38-minute presentation or would like a refresher, you’ll be happy to hear that the NACS 2008 “Ideas 2 Go” DVD is now available for purchase.
In addition to featuring the best practices from 11 different companies around the United States, the DVD also includes three never-before-seen bonus store tours from Pops (Arcadia, Oklahoma), Green Valley Grocery (Las Vegas, Nevada) and Famima!! (Los Angeles, California).
For the filming of the program, “retailers welcomed us to their stores and showed us how they are leading change. These are not ideas that are exclusive to their stores; these are ideas that may work for your stores,”
Ricker told the crowd of thousands.
Since 1994, “Ideas 2 Go” has provided a fast-paced video tour of some of the most interesting, creative and profitable ideas in the convenience and petroleum retailing industry. In 2008, NACS visited:

Famima!! (Famima Corp.)
