Yearly, CHS provides Retail Excellence Daily (RED) Mystery Shop inspections at no charge to our marketers. These evaluations assist in identifying strengths and areas for improvement at each site – giving you the information you need to better position yourself against the competition. The 2020 Summer Round of Retail Excellence Daily (RED) Mystery Shop evaluations begins on Monday, June 1.

The C-Store Spotlight section aims to highlight Cenex retailers setting themselves apart from the competition through unique offerings and programs.  Has your site been successful with a specific consumer-facing approach, program or product offering?
