CSP is proud to announce the finalists in its 2024 Category Manager of the Year (CMOY) Awards, nominated by the convenience-store supplier community. These are the best of the best from small, midsize and large chains across the United States.
Between now and Jan. 31, CSP is asking supplier partners to cast their votes to recognize the c-store industry’s finest category managers. Winners are chosen in seven key c-store categories. Winners will be announced during the 2024 Convenience Retailing University conference, to be held Feb. 28-March 1 in Nashville. The winners will be featured in a special section of CSP magazine’s April issue.
Suppliers nominated dozens of potential finalists at the end of 2023 and, with the help of CSP editors, finalists were chosen based not only on bottom-line results, but also on the knowledge and forecasting abilities of these category managers, who arguably know more about today's consumer than anyone else.
