TEMPLE, Texas & COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- CEFCO Convenience Stores has added 71 sites to its ongoing partnership with PriceAdvanatge, a fuel-price management solution. Thus far, the rollout has involved stores in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.
"PriceAdvantage has increased our efficiency across the fuel pricing process, but most significantly, in the time it takes us to price our 194 sites," said Brett Giesick, chief retail officer for CEFCO, Temple, Texas. "We have found that it takes us only one to two hours to complete price changes across the network, including updates to the POS [point of sale], pump and electronic price signs. So naturally it was an easy decision to include the additional new sites in our partnership with Skyline."
Aaron McHugh, head of the PriceAdvantage division of Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Skyline Products, said, "We are elated that CEFCO has seen such an improvement in their fuel-pricing process with PriceAdvantage. We're excited to be a part of their success."
