NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — New Whitepaper Explores How Operations Executives from 65 C-Stores are Dealing with Current Challenges and Innovating for the Future

Today CB4 and Convenience Store Decisions released their new whitepaper, the 2019 C-Store Operations Survey, which delivers insights from 65 c-store leaders on how they’re rising to the industry’s current challenges, thriving in an increasingly-competitive market, and staying on the cusp of cutting-edge technology for future success.

“The c-store space appears unscathed from the headlines warning of the ‘death of retail,'” said Matthew McAlister, Director of Marketing at CB4. “With the majority of operations teams expecting significant growth throughout 2019 and receiving higher budgets, the focus on customer experience seems to be paying off in a very big way.”

The industry is, however, battling some persistent challenges including staffing, inventory management, operational issues, and more. The newfound focus on technology, specifically machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) tools, are proving increasingly useful in providing c-stores with solutions to chronic issues.
