Last month, Convenience Store News released its annual technology issue, featuring the exclusive 2009 Technology Report, the 2009 Technology Leadership Awards, and Scott Hartman, president and CEO of Rutter’s Farm Stores as the cover story, highlighting him as the winner of this year’s Convenience Store News Top Technology Leader Award.
Hartman recently e-mailed CSN to thank us for the article – it was our pleasure Scott, and congratulations again on the well-deserved award!
The reason we are the only industry publication with an annual technology report, and a technology awards program, is because we understand the importance of technology in the convenience store channel.
In order to stay competitive, not to mention efficient, c-stores must embrace technology – even the single-store owners out there. (We are releasing our Single Store Owner Industry Report this month.)
The good news is both chains and single stores seem to understand the importance of technology. Our research shows technology adoption is continuing despite the economy. PCI concerns aside, money is still being spent in the stores, and we hope it continues through to next year’s report.
