The rst half of 2022 has been challenging, we have seen unpresidential times with in ation creating a trying business environment. We have been proactively focusing on the in ation impact to your local stores. We foresee the trend continuing, potentially more price increases. Because of the current business environment, the HRA leadership team is focused on what we can control. Giving you the tools to make well thought out business decisions that have a positive impact to your store. We will continue to over communicate any price increases, this will give you ample time to react and make educated decisions.
We want to share what your HRA leadership team is focused on over the next 6 to 8 months. One of the most valuable bene ts of being a HRA member is the pricing you receive, everyday pricing along with promotional activity. This is pricing activity that a single store owner would have a di cult time securing. Knowing this, your HRA leadership team is preparing for the upcoming 2023 contact process. Negotiating strong contracts in this business environment is more critical than ever. We are committed to leveraging our size to gain a competitive advantage at store level. We will always be stronger together! The team is developing our 2023 strategic planning process and scheduling vendor meetings in the upcoming months. We do appreciate your commitment to the association, in return, we are committed to making sure you gain the maximum value from your membership.
We hosted our 6th Annual Golf Tournament at the beautiful Mirror Lake Golf Course in Villa Rica, Georgia on August 26, 2022. The event almost doubled their charity contributions from the previous year. With the help of almost 300 golfers and attendees and over 20 sponsors, HRA managed to raise over $61,000 to donate to CURE, supporting families dealing with pedeatric cancer as well as cancer research.
The charity golf festivities began with breakfast and registration before a live DJ provided entertainment for the players and spectators throughout the day. At the end of the tournament, participants were excited when ra e prizes including a 65” TV, a Traeger grill, and Macallan scotch were distributed. All players fees and ra e contributions were donated to CURE. We are thrilled to be supporting such a wonderful organization dedicated to helping cure children’s cancers.
We were excited to present CURE with a donation at our 1st Annual C-Store Connect Trade Show on September 21, 2022 at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, Georgia. Well over 1,000 individuals attended our rst trade show representing 915 HRA members while 101 vendors showcased in the event. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Monster, and Red Bull with more than 20 other sponsors were able to provide giveaways of a Honda Accord, three travel vouchers worth $5000 each, Apple products, and more. Guests and vendors from the show were thrilled with the outcome and already looking forward to next year’s trade show.
Manish Paul and Daisy Shah took photos with many of the 400 guests who attended the after party. Members were able to enjoy food, dancing, a live DJ, and even a mechanical bull while interacting with other members and growing their network.
We are looking forward to connecting with you at future venues and events, and helping you every day of the year.
Sincerely, HRA Team
