Gas Customers Evolve in How They Shop for Price
ALEXANDRIA, VA – Price remains the dominant reason why consumers buy gas at a particular location, but how consumers shop for that price is shifting, according to the results of a new consumer survey released today by the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS).
Representative Jack Kingston joined GACS members at the 2013 NACS Show in Atlanta, GA. This was a great opportunity to put a face on the industry.
GACS recently held it’s second annual Sporting Clay Tournament at Big Red Oak Plantation in Gay, GA.
