February 15, 2016

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – NACS has debuted its new podcast series, “Convenience Matters,” that discusses topics related to the convenience store industry. The first three podcasts in the series can be downloaded at www.nacsonline.com/podcasts and iTunes. The podcasts will also soon be available on Google Play.

The first episode, “New Cars and New Fuels,” focuses on the new vehicles and technologies that will shape the future automotive landscape with a report from the 2016 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Program co-hosts Jeff Lenard, NACS vice president of strategic industry initiatives, and John Eichberger, executive director of the Fuels Institute, spoke to the Fuels Institute’s Donovan Woods about trends seen at the auto show.

The second episode, “Making the Healthy Choice the Convenient Choice,” features the Partnership for a Healthier America’s Amaris Bradley, who discusses the convenience retailing industry’s opportunities and successes related to selling healthy options.

In the third episode, “Is Hydrogen the Next Big Fuel?”, Bob Wimmer from Toyota Motor North America and Joe Gagliano from the California Fuel Cell Partnership discuss some of the high-level initiatives that are seeking to make hydrogen-fueled vehicles a reality.

A new episode will be released every Monday, focusing on topics related to convenience stores. 

“Whether it’s for food, fuel drinks or snacks, about half of the U.S. population is at a convenience store every day,” Lenard said. “We’ll talk about what we see at stores—and what the future may hold—as long as it’s convenient. We are very pleased by the strong attention that the podcasts have already received and encourage listeners to send us suggestions for future topics.

NACS Daily announced the podcasts in late January.
