In this episode of “At Your Convenience,” CSP Editor Chuck Ulie talks to Dan Razowsky, the marketing operations manager at Northbrook, Illinois-based Rmarts convenience stores. Razowsky (pictured) touches on looking to the future and building a foodservice program with love and attention, what effect electric vehicles might have on c-stores, and how handing out paper coupons at the pumps brings in business. Rmarts is a family-owned and -operated Chicago-area c-store chain that started in 1951 in downtown Chicago. With 11 locations today, Rmarts has evolved to emphasize convenience and community, where open-faced coolers and bean-to-cup coffee machines have replaced the auto repair bays of yesterday.
