When I was a kid, my older brother’s prized possession for a short period of time was his G.I. Joe Cobra Terror Drome Command Center and all of the figures that went with it. (He had quite the collection.) Naturally, because I was informed on a regular basis to never touch it, it was the only […]
Read moreIf you had to list the buildings where you valued security the most, I’m pretty sure bank security would be pretty close to the top. Obviously, schools come first (or I at least hope so, you monsters), but after our precious children, I’m pretty serious about protecting my hard earned cash. Thankfully, banks also take […]
Read moreMy daughter was home on Tuesday from school with a very vague case of… something. I don’t know what it was. There was mention of a headache. At one point her throat “sort of” hurt. She ran the smallest fever for a total of about four hours. By Tuesday night she was fit as a […]
Read moreEver since the breach in healthcare in the past couple of years, the security of our information has been at the forefront of our minds. Granted, it seems like all of the breaches have been of the digital type, but this isn’t true. Did you know that many of these breaches in security occur because […]
Read moreDo you want to hear a sad statistic? (Probably not, but I’m going to tell you anyway. Happy Tuesday!) According to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention, approximately one-in-11 people in America shoplift. (Why, people? You can do better.)

This is a fast-paced, high-demand industry that sees a great deal of wear and tear on their hardware. If the facility manager isn’t made aware of the difference between Grade […]
Read moreVandalism in bathrooms in convenience stores has always been a problem. It’s why on road trips you’re almost always met with a bathroom key attached to a strange object like a wooden spoon or in this case… a whisk.

Read moreLet’s talk statistics really quickly. Thanks to NACS Online, I was able to dig up some interesting information. In the United States alone, there are 152,794 convenience stores. This divvies up into one convenience store for every 2,095 people. On average, a customer spends roughly between three and four minutes in a convenience store when […]
Read moreThe golden arches. A pig-tailed redhead with freckles. A green mermaid with her siren call of a hot cup of coffee. I don’t need to give you the names of these restaurants for you to know what they are, and that, my friends, is the beauty of brand identity. However, brand identity is a lot […]
