Parker’s, a Savannah-based regional chain, has opened a new-4,000-square-foot store at 2419 Augusta Road in Garden City.
Parker’s 28th store was opened just after the company was recognized as a Market Leader at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) annual trade show Oct. 7-10 in Las Vegas.
Trade show attendees got a first look at new industry ideas and best retail practices during its “Ideas 2 Go” video exhibition, which showcased Parker’s popular PumpPal loyalty program, aesthetically pleasing female-focused store design and use of innovative check-out and multimedia pump technology.
The organization also recognized Parker’s mobile app, premier craft beer Growler offerings, exclusive gas giveaways and Fueling the Community program.
As part of the Market Leader honor, Parker’s was selected as one of 12 national convenience store retailers included in the group’s “Ideas 2 Go” DVD, which features innovative convenience store retailers and includes interviews on topics such as food service, niche marketing, community involvement and new merchandising methods.
