"The 2008 success of Lil' Drug Store Products, which included a 16% [image-nocss] increase in our product sales to convenience stores, is directly attributable to our strong broker network throughout the country," said Paul Rossberger, vice president of sales and marketing at Lil' Drug Store. "We recognize these four brokers for exceeding our highest standards and standing out among the best sales brokers in our industry."
