New Truck Stop Sees Increases in Monthly Sales
SAN ANTONIO, TX (July 18, 2017) As Sam Trinh contemplated branding the new truck stop he was constructing in Bryan, Texas, a conversation with friend, Neal Do, brought some clarity. Do had already converted 13 stations to the VP Racing Fuels brand in Oklahoma and raved about VP’s advantages, including a lower cost of supply, new revenue streams and most importantly, increased profits. A subsequent conversation with Bryan Noonen, VP’s Wholesale Brand Development Manager, sealed the deal and Trinh’s Aggieland Truck Stop now sports a VP Racing Fuels logo and smiling “Mad Scientist®” on the canopy.
According to Trinh, even before his grand opening this past March, customers were pleasantly surprised to find VP’s race fuel blends in 5-gallon pails at Aggieland. “Just as Neal said, the VP brand is well-regarded among performance enthusiasts and they’ll go out of their way to get race fuel, VP Madditives®, VP fuel jugs and other VP-branded products. Each of these represents a new revenue stream that helps make us more profitable.”
“Our gas volumes and inside sales have increased 10-15% each month since we opened and I anticipate that trend will continue,” Trinh added. “Once my branding contracts expire on my other six stores, I’m hoping to convert them to VP as well.”
“Sam’s experience is a great illustration of what VP’s program can do for a station owner,” said Noonen. “Not only does it offer favorable margins on unbranded supply, lower credit card fees and new revenue streams that aren’t available anywhere else, but the owner enjoys much more control over his business with far fewer rules and restrictions.”
