About Us
WELCOME
Some thoughts of mine on running
the perfect convenience store
I am passionate about this venture. As visionary and driver of AMERICAN PLENTY every detail from the name to the execution of our first store is a labor of love.
I bring with me 20+years of experience in sales and marketing, having been recognized as a top sales producer in the real estate and financial industries.
My philosophy is that the best ideas are those that create a new mind-set or sense a need before others do. When you take that need and combine with it a unique concept you have a winning formula.
My desire is to clearly define and understand who our company is, what our objectives are, and know our industry and marketplace.
I believe we need to connect with both the emotional and practical needs of our customer. In today’s market place it’s about emotions we are selling and the consumer
experience.
From conception this project will be green driven on all levels, from design/materials of store to products we sell. There is no creating a demand for buying and supporting green….it is upon us.
Treating our employees with importance will elevate the company to greater heights, our employees will be less likely to leave and in turn strengthen the bond with our customers.
Success to me will be how many people we can bring with us on this enterprise, the investors, employees and eventual shareholders; the more gratifying the victory will be.
Inspiration and creativity drive every moment for me. From the scent of a citrus tree to a broken down barn in the middle of an open field, I find beauty in it all. In business it is important that equal attention be given to creativity as it is to growth and profit.
I have dreamed of a project where I can combine my experience, talents, and passion together and feel very strongly that american plenty is that ultimate challenge and adventure for me and will be for everyone involved.
I am in a position to focus 100% of my time and energy on my dream, I am truly excited about the future of AMERICAN PLENTY.
Lastly I want to thank you for your time. It is my belief your investment in AMERICAN PLENTY will be an opportunity for you to be a part of something big. Some may consider this too challenging but with retail stores leap-frogging over one another on all sides, we have to act. The pioneers are the ones shaping the marketplace. American plenty will usher in a new era and fresh face to the convenience store industry.
Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result our success will be due to a combination of good people, high quality foods and products, a green mindset and hard work.
We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and invite you on an investment journey that will revolutionize marketing in the convenience store industry.
TESTIMONIALS:
Below are quotes and feedback from individuals regarding the strong support of drive thru convenience and evidence they are successful:
-As a mom with a 5 year old I would ADORE a store like this in my area, if it were done right. (clean, quick, no sleaze, smart & polite staff, quality items) With regards to impulse buying, you can always have your staff do the McD's "would you like fries with that?" trick. "Would you like a six pack of fresh Krispy Kreme donuts with that?" or something along those lines. Treats for the dog, too. Make it a fun trip for everyone, moms will keep coming back. -Courtney C.
-Great idea. Maybe consider a combination grocery pick-up with drive thru. Order your groceries on the phone or internet in advance and pick up at the drive thru. Fast and convenient. Avoids impulse buying. -Bradley L.
-I KNOW people will use it a LOT...especially the elderly and moms with kids in the car (who wants to drag 3 kids into the grocery store--all the way to the back, JUST TO GET MILK?!) I'd say if there isn't already a drive thru store in your area it would probably be profitable! (I know I'd shop there!) Good luck! -Susan L.
"Do it"-Open a drive-through convenience store in my town and I will use you for everything I can.
I HATE grocery store shopping-posted by Olivia
-They have then in a town a used to live in - shoot -- the name of the stores has slipped my mind :( But, I always saw people driving by picking up milk, eggs, the basics... things that you don't really want to stop at a store to get every day. The store was very small with doors on either side so you could have two cars and the catchier could walk quickly between the two doors. I think they were profitable because there were always people there. - Don H.
-In such a fast paced world a drive-thru convenience store could actually work. Once orders are taken, there could be runners who retrieve basic products such as toothpaste, soda, aspirin, and various other goods you would normally pick-up at your local market. Obviously the system would have to be extremely streamlined to be successful, but I am just hoping you open one by me! -Christian W.
