Convenience is under siege – and everyone knows it. Online retailing, third-party foodservice delivery and declining fuel fill-ups are challenging c-store retailers’ in-store performance. So maximizing category success has never been more important.

To help retailers grow sales amid this retail revolution, we’re providing Category Breakouts. Each forum will feature experts to inspire fresh ideas and new ways to engage customers. Whether you’re a one-store operator or work for a chain of 5,000 units, you are guaranteed to go home with new insights and actionable solutions.

The presentation tracks will include Foodservice, Packaged Beverages, Behind the Counter, Dispensed Beverages, Technology & Loyalty, Center Store, Fuels & EV.

Continue the afternoon exploring the Product Gallery, attending meetings and checking out solutions from CRU's supplier partners. Be sure to complete all your meetings to be entered in drawings for several prizes!
