LONDON For nearly 100 years, the United States has pioneered the concept of convenience. While 2020 was a year like no other, some convenience retailers continued to innovate by opening new stores and rebranding their sites.
Dan Munford, host of Global Convenience Store Focus’s Shop Talk LIVE virtual series, was joined by two U.S.-based convenience retailers who haven’t stopped innovating: Kevin Smartt, CEO of Texas-based Kwik Chek/TXB, and Mike Fogarty, founder and CEO of Colorado-based Choice Market.

Virtual experiences, landmark research and frontline heroes are among the highlights of a historic year.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. The entrepreneurial nature and amazing grit of convenience and fuel retailers inspires us at NACS to push ourselves to test and learn as an organization to better serve our industry, so when the pandemic hit during late winter, instead of tapping the brakes, our teams pressed the accelerator.
COVID-19 forced the cancellation of in-person events from mid-March onward. In fact, the NACS 2020 Day on the Hill with a record 174 attendees participating and the NACS 2020 HR Forum were the last “live” and in-person U.S. events of 2020 for NACS.
