NOTABLE AND QUOTABLE
“ One thing that was a great benefit that came out of the work I did with Jacksons and Boise State is we opened up a pipeline of great students and talented individuals to come into the department. Robert Hampton , Director of Strategic Growth and Initiatives, Vision Group Network
“ I know that when we were running our stores, it goes to the consistency issues. We did not want our customers to have to guess as to whether we were open or not. If they were going to go out in the evening, we would be available if they needed us. Roy Strasburger , CEO of StrasGlobal, President of Compliance Safe, and Vision Group Network Co-Founder
“ It seems to me that the people that are going to win the race of being the most successful business owners in the convenience store space and many other spaces are going to be the people that are most effectively using artificial intelligence. Greg Parker , Executive Chairman, Parker’s
“ The third shift business is more vibrant now than ever, quite honestly. And primarily that’s really driven by online ordering. So our business really has picked up at a really great degree, especially after midnight. Joe Hamza , Chief Operating Officer, Nouria Energy
“ I really echo what Greg [Parker] said. I think AI is a great place because you can just provide data and a training set and say, “Go see what you can find out.” I think Joe [Sheetz] made a great point about the fact that there’s a multiplicity of technology systems, and students get very confused very quickly with the technology in our business because it’s not common. James Hervey , Head of Petro, Verifone
“ So I think for us decentralizing and giving people the autonomy to play and use [AI] but also giving them a structure where they report back has been really helpful. Tracey Hughes , CEO, Wallis Companies
“ Everyone wants to run and say, “AI’s going to solve the world.” Well, it’s not unless you can figure out how to tie it into the actual business problems. So, I think this could be well done. Joe Sheetz , Executive Vice Chairman, Sheetz Inc.
