  • CST Brands CEO Kim Bowers promises few changes at Nice N Easy stores

    The Syracuse Post-Standard newspaper interviewed Kim Bowers, the CEO of CST Brands, which recently acquired the chain of Nice N Easy stores in New York. The full interview can be found here.

    Ms. Bowers’ daughter attends Hamilton College and frequented the local Nice N Easy store. Her daughter would often email photos of the store to her mom and tell her how much she liked it.

    Ms. Bowers’ said CST Brands was attracted to the change because Nice N Easy had such great community involvement, and  outstanding customer support. She said Nice N Easy customers should expect no changes, other than some more product offerings from the CST Brands private label brand “Fresh Choices”. The CEO said that at CST Brands it’s common for the customer to come inside the store because of the relationship they have with the people inside the store.

    From a fuel price management perspective, this customer service focus and attention to the community plays into strategies that may not need to provide the lowest fuel prices in town. Customers are willing to by fuel at stores they like – just like the old saying goes “People do business with people who they like to do business with.”
