COLFAX, Iowa – Carly Fiorina will be participating today in the NACS In Store program, in which she will have the opportunity to work behind the counter, interact with members of the local community and have conversations with community members about issues important to them.

The special event, hosted in partnership with NACS, will be held today at the Kum & Go located at 1200 North Walnut Street in Colfax, Iowa, beginning at 8:30 am CT.

“More than half of the country visits a convenience store on a daily basis, whether to buy fuel, use the ATM, wash their cars or quickly buy snacks, drinks or meals,” said Henry Armour, NACS president and CEO. “The NACS In Store program gives elected officials a perfect opportunity to experience how these stores serve the public in their home districts.”

Fellow presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) participated in an In Store event in Iowa earlier this month. In total, more than 30 NACS In Store events have been completed with members of Congress to experience firsthand the community experience that takes place at their local convenience stores. Both Democrats and Republicans have received invitations to participate in these events.

“Over time, convenience store owners and the customers and communities they serve should benefit from policies that spur further growth, prosperity and innovation in the sector,” Armour said. “We believe our elected officials will emerge with an even more intimate understanding not only of convenience stores’ challenges, but also of their many contributions across the economic, social and cultural spectrum.”
