Podcast: Focus on Being Great in 1 or 2 Areas, Says Kyle Drenon of Supper Co.

Co-owner of Missouri ad agency tells CSP that convenience stores shouldn’t attempt to be excellent at everything

In this episode of “At Your Convenience,” CSP Editor Chuck Ulie talks with Kyle Drenon, co-owner of the Springfield, Missouri-based ad agency Supper Co.

Drenon, whose business partner is Kesha Alexander, talks about why convenience stores shouldn’t try to do everything great—and why it’s a better strategy to focus on one or two items or areas to be excellent.

He also discusses menu strategy, including limited-time offers, and the “amazing results” he’s seen growing loyalty programs with paid social media, as well as the importance of innovation—trying new things.

“At Your Convenience” brings industry experts and analysts together with CSP editors to discuss the latest in c-store news and trends. From mergers and acquisitions to foodservice and technology, the podcast delivers the story straight to listeners in short-format episodes, perfect for the morning commute or a quick break at the office.
