Insight Research has spent the last 12 months identifying global best practice in the international convenience and petroleum industry. Our site visits to literally hundreds of convenience store and petroleum retail locations in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Scandinavia, Australia, South Africa and Japan over this period give us a unique, insider perspective on what is actually working on a practical level for retailers in-store.
In the course of our research we have created best practice case studies, filmed store profiles and also recorded interviews with global leaders to analyse strategies on key issues for our sector today. This provides us with a structure for our findings as it has identified common themes across our industry. Our finished report is now ready, summarises winning strategies and is presented in written report and DVD format.
It covers the following subject topics and includes multiple video and detailed photographic case studies, including specially edited section conclusions in video format from our global CEO interviews. It provides retailers and manufacturers with an “easy to use” tool to evaluate global best practice, together with a focus on the key concerns and future opportunities within our industry from the perspective of the industry CEO.
