Retailer Delivers Differentiated Experience To Consumers Exceeding Competitor Results From Rebranding


How A Convenience Store/Gasoline Retailer Delighted Target Consumers To Drive Growth Through Same Store Sales & Acquisitions


The Situation:

     • Retail division of vertically integrated petroleum company
   underperforming
• Same-store sales lagging
• Competitors rebranded C-store/gasoline retail locations fueling
   significant growth
• Significant opportunities to grow through acquisition available
• Marketing, advertising & remodeling retail locations to rebrand require
   intense investment

The Challenge:

     • Validate financial opportunity of rebranding c-store/gasoline
   locations
• Test consumer segmentation to ensure a focus on the greatest
   opportunity
• Align the people & the processes with the rebranding
• Develop an implementation plan that guarantees success

The Solution

     • Revised consumer segmentation found a more profitable segment
   with a significantly larger opportunity for increased loyalty &
   revenue growth
• Modeling of the drivers of consumer loyalty demonstrated how key
   employee behaviors would drive loyalty & business performance
   — Rebranding didn't drive for newly identified segment
• Marketing, advertising & remodeling investments put on hold, saving
   tens of millions of dollars
• Manager & employee training system deployed with minimal labor
   costs
• Economic, focused coaching of district and store managers executed
• One scorecard to forecast & manage performance from the retail
   location to corporate headquarters implemented

The Results:

     • Store manager talent upgraded
• Improved perceptions of petroleum product quality & c-store pricing
• Double digit increases in employee satisfaction, consumer loyalty,
   average transaction & same store sales
• Revenue & margin results exceeded 15% achieved by competitor
   rebranding
• Tens of millions of dollars re-allocated from rebranding to fund
   acquisitions
• Acquisitions integrated using training, coaching & scorecard
