2018 RETAIL LEADER OF THE YEAR: KYLE KRAUSE
CSP is proud to honor Kyle Krause, chairman and CEO of Kum & Go LC, as its 2018 Retail Leader of the Year (RLOY). After a literal lifetime working for the West Des Moines, Iowa-based company started by his father and grandfather, Krause took over the family business in 2004. The honor comes exactly 10 years after CSP presented Kyle’s father, Bill Krause, with the same honor, building on a legacy of ambition and strategy.
