The latest issue of Convenience and Impulse Retailing magazine is out now. Read it here: https://hubs.li/Q03XnHV20
First up in in our Face Time, we meet Maher Magableh, CEO and Founder of EzyMart. Maher has had an interesting life, with business uniquely intertwined with his love of taekwondo. We then visit bp Summer Hill, where Blue Robe Petroleum have done a fantastic job in creating a modern, engaging, and relaxing site in the Inner West of Sydney.
As we wrap up 2025, we take a look back at the best products from the year. Firstly, with our very deserving overall C&I Choice Product of the Year winner, CTC Australia, before delving into all the categories across the channel and picking the best from each.
In our features this issue, we take a deep-dive into carbonated beverages, ready-made meals, and security. With analysis from experts, retailers, and suppliers on category performance, the features provide a great chance for the channel to get stuck into the nitty gritty of what's happening in our industry.
A big thanks to our columnists for this issue – Theo Foukkare, CEO of the Australian Association of Convenience Stores (AACS), Michael Brick, Managing Director, Meris Food Equipment, and Rachel Quinn of 3P Partners.
Happy reading!
